Rasho averaged ~ seven points, seven boards and 1.7 blocks per game the first couple of years he was with the Spurs. You guys wouldn't be happy with that for what Splitter's likely to be paid?
Stoo. Pid.
I don't get the fascination with this guy. He seems average.

he'll do just as good as wallace and he becomes part of the future aswell... thats why i want him to come over already
See: Joe Smith and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The penalty for under the table deals, if you get caught, is the next thing to a death sentence. Otherwise, every team would do it, instead of just the Lakers.
not this **** again...
who the is Paul Gasol?
Im saying never because there is a 99.9% chance he is never coming
consider your hopes dashed!
He's coming. I just got off the cellular device with him.
I had to vouch up a meal from SONIC, and a fat head poster of Becky Hammon.
Splitter will never be a Spur. Bank on it.
I just saw his cousin Brunuci at Costco off 1604, he confirmed that Thiago is staying at the Dury Inn off Wurzbach and will meet with spurs tommorow.
I swear to god if you're lying...I won't do anything. But I'll be pretty upset.
Of course he is lying. Come on.
LOL..After the Sheed meeting??? O, no.. scratch that!!!
i saw him at the tv motel on old HWY 90 last night sitting on the curb eating freds fish with two tecatos named chucky and sad boy.
Pop, Leblon is the best cachasa remember that
because everyone just needs to face the fact that hes never gonna come write it down
If he was coming to the spurs this year it would of happened by now and the spurs would not be looking at signing a big with the MLE.
Who says they are?
You could be right, but the only players they have been linked to are big men. I just really don't think he will come over this year, when he could make more money if he came next season.
Here's a photo of him at the YMCA on Bandera.
followed by several tests by the Spurs Medical Staff.
I was standing in line at Peter Piper Pizza on Marbach and 410 and I swear I saw him at the pop-a-shot. He had like a small mountain of tickets around him, he kept getting the high score, and then he'd beat it! Also he was drinking a Pepsi.
I just saw him at Chacho's on Perrin Beitel getting some King Kong Nachos. He said he wants to sign with the Spurs, but he just came into town to get the nachos.
Alright, I've been one to dismiss the talks of Splitter coming this year pretty much since the start of the off-season, but I'm starting to actually wonder..
Why would Splitter's agent tell Miketinac early in the off-season that they'd assess their options after Tiago's season was over, yet when asked for a comment today, he says he can't really comment about it at this time? And why would he tell Miketinac that he should pose that question to R.C. and the Spurs, instead?
I mean, what would prevent him from commenting at this time? He didn't have a problem commenting on Oberto and the fact that he cleared waivers today. Tiago's under contract with Tau and the buyout really only makes sense for Splitter in '10 when the Spurs can actually afford to pay his way.
So what's the hold-up?
Could the Spurs be in some kind of delicate behind-the-scenes effort that would bring Splitter over this year?
Did Pop and R.C.'s specificity in making known their goal of getting a 4-man, not a big or 4/5, suggest that they were thinking Splitter was in the cards?
Looking at the roster, the Spurs have one player who's a passable center.
Duncan.
So, is it possible that they've had their sights set on Splitter because of their ability to find a quality 4 in this market? (Tiago could then provide depth and play significant minutes at the 5/4, without the pressure of being counted on to start from day 1..)
If I'm Splitter, I'm not sure how much sense it makes to come over this year. (At least financially) But, if I had a genuine desire to play in the NBA and saw a great opportunity for myself to play now with the lack of proven bigs on the roster? I think I might bite.
I guess the sooner he gets over here, the sooner he's likely to get paid in that second contract.. So could/would the Spurs offer him a 2-year deal that they'd allow to expire (not pick up the team option) and re-up him with a more suitable contract. Maybe allow him to recoup some of that money he'd lose by leaving?
I'm not sure if it's above board to do something like that, and it'd definitely take a leap of faith from both parties, but it'd make sense if a dialogue like that was happening behind the scenes with all the smoke and no comment, comments, taking place.
