Sooooo is the first yr @ 7.5?? Anybody have the numbers per year??
Splitter being guarded by a point guard is a complete myth
he posted Fisher and Fisher flopped
that resulted in an offensive foul and everybody said he couldnt guard him
they must have forgotten this game where Brooks tried to play Fisher again and Tiago stayed on the floor and guarded Fisher on the other end
Fisher had a -21 in 12 minutes on the court where he got abused because they thought they could matchup with Tiago with Fisher on the floor
I guess we should start holding it against Tim Duncan that he couldnt score a layup vs Shane Battier to tie the Finals or get the tipin either tbh...
Considering that I wrote this six months ago -
I think, the Spurs FO did a great job in paying Splitter to close or just less than his market value.
Though I understand the disappointment with the amount and years, it's a fair deal.
Think about it like this: if Splitter walked, who would replace him? On the current roster, I'm not going to pretend that Baynes would get a chance, we all know it would be Bonner getting major minutes. And for free agency, it's not like some great free agent would be begging to come over for the same amount that Splitter just got. Milsapp isn't that great, and we'd have to watch Tim get chewed up and grinded down to a s of himself against opposing bigs. Al Jefferson couldn't defend a pick-and-roll to save his life, and Utah changed their coverage every way they could to try to turn Jefferson into just an average defender and nothing worked. Jefferson wasn't going to be able to hang on the court with TD against Miami either. And he would have cost a lot more than Splitter. Don't like 4/36 for Splitter? Try 4/50 for Jefferson, it's not so grand.
A lot of NBA writers hating on this deal. Think he's just a Splitter hater though.
All three of those guys will get more than 12M. Guy is an idiot.
Who the F*** is Yannis Koutroupis lmao Why are there so many clueless "NBA experts" out there lol
Good article from 48 Minutes of .
Uhhh Bynum, Pek, and Jefferson were already going to command a starting salary of 12mil regardless of what Splitter was getting.
People who think Tiago is overpaid just doesn't understand the NBA Free Agency landscape or this is their first NBA offseason tbh.
Biedrins got 6yr/54 million and Splitter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bieds
lol everyone expected splitter to get paid at 9-10 mil. and when he does, they overreact lol dafuq
Why are there so many clueless "NBA experts" in here?
Its a good deal for the Spurs and finally cements another 7' next to Tim in his final years. As some people have pointed out, Tiago has only been playing in the starting lineup for 1 year and is improving in most areas, including free throw %. If he keeps improving, we will have another bargain player for the next few years. The way the other teams are throwing money at the big men, I am surprised it wasn't for $40 million.
The Spur can still sign Leonard for 5 years when he goes on the market.
As long as the Spurs staff can keep improving the players, we are looking at some good years ahead.
Side note - Lord help us, if some team steals Chip England away from the Spurs.
Splitter bankin now ...plus royalties from lebron monster block
Hoopsworld writer I think
Pretty funny, if Tiago's contract forces the other big men to ask for even more money. CIA to force the other teams to overpay and later have to trade some key pieces in the future.
Internal improvement is big for the Spurs now. Kawhi, Green, and Splitter will need to up their game. Pop can't keep holding them back because of the big 3.
Nice regular season video.
Welcome back big dog!!!! Lets do this. Drive for five 2014. We got this!!!!!
This site would've gone into full meltdown mode if we let Splitter walk and then somehow didn't sign or trade for another starting-caliber Center. At least we got our starting Center back. Yes, he's overpaid, but that's what starting C's in the NBA command. Fair market value tbh.
Good move by the Spurs to lock up this international intelligence for four more years, tbh.
So what? He's not a super star. That's what we need him for. So Tim isn't out there. He eats up minutes.
Pretty sure that video just proves Splitter is a scrub.
Pop pulled Splitter from the rotation because he fell for a Dwayne Wade pump fake everyone falls. Meanwhile he lets Manu throw the ball to the Heat 8 times. He blamed Splitter's lack of playing on being injured so much. When he made statements in the past such as it's not fair to the team to play Splitter and that he was playing Splitter as much as he possibly could. The biggest impediment to Splitter being able to help the team is whether Pop is willing to let him.
finally, a good take on st.
not a horrible deal but not a steal. we were in a quandary, and went with the devil we knew vs. the devil we didn't know.
I just hope Tiago continues to improve or at least grows more intestinal for ude. He's not RJ levels of pussery, but he definitely needs to do more to help out.
