Bigs get paid tbh. Jeff hasn't learned the fundamental sports skill of catching a ball yet is stealing 2mil/season from the team.
All brazilian players die after they get their first big contract... Barbosa, Nene, Tiago...

You could at least finish your thought. He's a net negative alongside Duncan because Duncan isn't hitting his jumper as well this year so the spacing between the two doesn't work. He's fine with the backup unit.

edit: and lol at any list that doesn't have Kobe's contract in the top 2. His and Amare's contracts are the only ones that are single-handedly killing franchises.

The drugs are those that help one see if a player can play D.
Jefferson can't and hey, I must be on that drug as well.
His contract suddenly got "bad" when he and his teammates got hurt and the team got passed by OKC in the standings.
Al Jefferson
i'm still waiting to see this great defensive stopper tiago splitter is. this guy is slower than molasses in the winter time and totally non existent on the offensive end. if u think splitter is a better player than jefferson, then i won't argue with u. we'll just agree to disagree
Spurs off season:
Signing Splitter and Manu to high mil $ contacts and both hardly playing.
Adding Ayers and Beli. Ayers earning the nickname errors and Beli although a good edition they did lose Neal.
Trade Deadline: (cricket sounds)
Yep, best FO ever.
Funny thing is I dont remember him saying against Pau Gasolīs contract, that dude is a slightly better Tiago and got 3 times more money.
are you kidding? Gasol's 10x the player tiago is. Splitter can't score beyond 3 feet from the basket!
Not kidding, I remember Jack Nicholson grabbing his head because Pau couldnīt make a simple layup , he always was a wuss but a decent player and all Kobe needed to win, if Tiago played with Kobe instead Pau he would look 10 times better too.

Bill Simmons: Worst analyst ever!
I used to enjoy listening and reading his commentary. But ever since he started working with Jalen Rose, and especially his work on ESPN pregame shows, I've gotten sick of him. I think his popularity is fading. It will be interesting to see if he is with the ESPN halftime show after this season.
Unless splitter gets healthy and can start repeating last seasons performance that 10+ mil a year is gonna b tough to swallow
Claiming Fair market value is you hear from democrats Who overpay and sleazy ass Republican car salesman. Tiago Sucks on offense and is avg defender Who spurs fans overrated. Blair is out playing Splitter this year and makes over 8 million mess... all you Who wanted Splitter. Hes not helping us sin regular season, not doing in playoffs.. there is no counter argument here
Tiago's contract is still better than Kobe's and Nash
The Lakers are practically paying DEAD MONEY right now for those dudes.
Does Tiago seems like a $10M player? Well... let's see:
One guy in this comparison makes $14M and one guy makes $10M, I don't think Tiago's playing that bad. He's just a tougher Rasho...y'all should be used to this by now.

Boguts contract is pretty bad too
who cares it's bill simmons the guy who ranked an unproven bulls with a injury prone star above pacers heat and spurs in the off season rankings.
I was on the Robin Lopez wagon last summer, can't believe they overpaid for a situational player who arguably cost us a le... Now we're stuck with this scrub... RJeff 2.0...
This... My whole thing was Splitter wont put us over the top or, if released he wouldnt hurt us playing against, so why overpay? You could have had the same production for a tenth of the cost, landed a good Sf, pf, and or pg... Wtf
If you're referring to Lopez, in case you failed to check he's not signed at "a tenth" the cost. More like 60%+ the annual cost, though only for two years.
There was no guarantee they would have gotten any of the available bigs, so they paid a bit too much for the one they had control over. Yes, it would have been nice to have another couple of million to throw at a non-Ayres big, but it's not like they overpaid by $8 million a year.
This Splitter debate is so stupid. It's literally the Green debate lagging a year behind.
Gasol is not even close to the defender Splitter is and id a highly ovverrated offensive player. I'd take Splitter's P@R game over Gasol's "post game" any day of the week.
Green didn't fit with the starters anymore?
Splitter is a combination of Bonner (situational player) and RJeff (way overpaid and prevents us to make a move that put us over the top).
