I don't believe 'till i see him on court in Game 1 wearing black & silver.
If they announce it today then that'd be sweet, sign splitter and get to see some possible young guys for the squad later.

This doesn't seem to be as much an issue with the players actually playing in Europe, since their season is so short, like 30-40 games. It only becomes a factor at 80-100 games for NBA players.
Splitter in Brazilian website Folha.com: “Between 0 and 10 the chance for me to get the contract done on Monday is 9. I don’t want to talk about the contract details because I still have to pass the physical”

According to this article, he doesn't have a return ticket to Spain...![]()
Don;t you know its pointless and worthless to go to Spurs games this year because they signed Matt Bonner?
Come on..
DonHarris4WOAI Spurs will introduce splitter at 3pm.
Awesome news...guess that means he passed the physical and only really has to put pen to paper.
Any idea when we'll know details of the contract?
BTW I disagree with what you've been saying about there not being any reason to pay him less than the full MLE. While you're right in saying that we won't go out and sign anyone with any portion left under the MLE I do think that they need to stay as far under the luxury tax as possible.
There are a lot of young players on this team as you just pointed out and the difference between carrying one or two of them maybe whether or not we are approaching LT territory. This is also why I hope to god the Bonner contract is not as bad as advertised and that RJ signs for a low amount as well.
10 minutes later......

Splitter alert: #spurs have scheduled a 3 p.m. presser.
What time EST will that be, and will it be streamed live on spurs.com?
Don't you know? We're definitely going to win a le with Bonner's clutch shooting, solid defense, and stellar rebounding out on the court at 4 million per year next year...
Come on...
Breaking news!
Good stuff from the FAKEPOP twitter account.

If Richard Jefferson asks me 1 more time if he can conduct the Tiago Splitter physical, he'll never play for me again.FakeCoachPop
Tiago's physical delayed. Not sure how I'll break the news to Jefferson. He's been working on the "Turn your head" move all week.
That's gold.
His buyout was re ed.. Ask a rocket fan, he'll fill in on the details, but I believe that teams could only pay a certain amount and Scola ended up paying a big chunk of his own money to play in the NBA.
Yao helped him with a shoe deal to help him get some change back, that's about all I know about that.
Would be nice if SDC came in here and posted a link to the live press conference with Tiago, but I'm guessing we'll have to wait at least 3 to 4 hours for the video.
Oh well, there's still the summer league game.![]()
I bet there will be a live feed.
Hopefully today is when everything happens.
