Trade him for Anderson Varejao.
As for Cousins, NO WAY we trade for him. He won't listen to anyone, so Pop would never okay that (and rightfully so, he's a MEGA-CANCER), even given his physical talents.

Obviously, the Spurs being the number 1 offense is not enough !
Jack in 2003.
I could be wrong on this (I admit) but I recall they made Jack a reasonable offer, but he had unreasonable expectations. Eventually he settled for the Hawks offer, way below what he and his agent thought they'd get. But, yes, that is one that got away. True.
Splitter is not eligible for an extension. Even though he was a first round draft pick, he was signed to contract using the MLE. His contract is for three years; contracts like his must be at least four years in length in order to be extended.
Splitter will be a free agent this summer even if the Spurs reach an agreement on terms for a new deal before then. He can't sign a new contract until after the July moratorium. If they don't have an agreement in place by then, they will certainly tender the necessary qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent.
not sure if sa is good enough for the golden god, IMO TBH
"Mega-cancer"...find another word to describe him. That's a pathetic insult and plus you've been on repeat with that for a while now.
Centers with proper maturity, defensive awareness and offensive skill are hard to find, we should sign him long term while we can for a reasonable price..
Splitter for Varejao
"young" talent to Cleveland
immediate results to San Antonio.
There's plenty of bigs with better defense/rebounding, qualities that are much more important than being able to play the pnr when one play next to Tim.
Tiago is what, 28 years old now?
I would keep Tiago for a reasonable price, we know he cant lead the team but he is a good asset to have.
I think if the Spurs trade him (now that his value is higher than ever), the effect on winnings is going to be noticeable, i mean, he is contributing for the team.
But, if they do trade him, maybe they can get 2 young players and start rebuilding a little while the Big 3 is still there.
I dont know...at some point we have to realize that the Big 3 era is ending, and we will probably have a few bad years.
We can avoid this by getting young talent now at the expense of winning more games now.
The question that i always ask is: Start rebuilding now and not be a contender or risk everything trying to get 1 more championship to the big 3... and after that....only god knows...
I'm not sure Spurs is the best place for Splitter, but I think he will try to stay in SA as long as possible.
Splitter will get paid to be sure, but what's nice about the Duncan contract is that it frames expectations. Not that he'd be a lock to get it anyway, but its hard for spltter to demand much more than 9m/yr when Tim Duncan is earning 10m.
I think the spurs keep him without much problem. The one variable I do see posing an issue is the offers that Wolves center Pekovic could get this summer. That may set the market for good centers.
7m/yr is fair enough...
Surprisingly Duncan is showing he's worth more than his contract this season. He's having a career season.
Omer Asik, a severely limited offensive post player got $8M/yr. It's unrealistic to expect the Spurs to bring back Splitter for anything less than that.
Asik is a far superior defensive player and rebounder to Tiago though. However I do agree, Tiago will get more than the $7m Asik got, I think $8-$10m is about right.
Asik is obviously way better than Splitter who is also limited in the post, can backup a PG, ugly hook and so on. Asik is also a defensive anchor and a better rebounder so it's not even close...
8-10 Millions is about what McGee or Ilysova got, both of them would be 100 times better next to Tim...
It's wrong to compare him to Asiks contract though, because Asik is a bargain for Houston.
Better rebounder yes. But, to call Asik a far superior defensive player is to underrate Splitter. I also think his offensive game (low post and feel for the pick-and-roll) is far superior to that of Asik. I know you agreed with me on his likely price tag, but I do feel like you're underestimating him from a skill perspective.
Agreed, it's the max they should give imo.
Thinking that McGee would be smart enough to play next to Tim and not kill the offense
You are crazy, 8-10 mil for 10points/5 rebs?
