Anyone still think he'll be the fifth big and play 10-12 minutes?

I have a bad feeling that the Spurs are going to work Splitter in slowly. I wouldn't even put it past Pop to start the season with him as the fifth big and play him 10-12 mpg. Eventually, I'd be surprised if he can't at least become the fourth big, but if/when he does, it'll probably be at the expense of Blair. Barring massive improvements in his game, my guess is he's the odds on favorite to get squeezed when the playoff rotation is set.

Bonner's mpg may not indicate it, but he'll probably be the third big. A constant in the rotation throughout the season, playing relatively consistent minutes compared to McDyess, Blair and Splitter.

OP you need a course in reading comprehension.

Here is where you got your posted numbers from:

Maybe he stopped short of cabanas on South Beach, but for Bonner, his new four-year Spurs deal — believed to be worth $16 million — was celebration enough.

When the word BELIEVED is used in contract talk, it is not OFFICIAL. It's speculative.
He could get it, or something close to it, or their belief or sources are off.

That is all.
