I imagine that's over with, especially for this season. If Splitter leaves during the off-season, I could see the Spurs taking a flier.
He's probably going to Miami, but I wouldn't mind giving him a shot.

Given the number of teams interested in him, it would have been difficult for Spurs to get him. It was a smart move for Spurs to go with Baynes.
^ Especially because Oden said he's not even going to play this season. Also, Baynes is healthy and in my opinion a much better bet to live up to his contract than Oden is.
Oden won't ever play again, he's trying to trick a team into giving him another contract, can't even walk properly, wouldn't touch it.
While I agree Oden may be done, I don't think he's trying to trick anybody into anything. He volunteered to give the Blazers about $7 Million last season (reducing his $8 Million deal to a $1 Million) after he found out he was going to miss the whole year due to another injury. I think he has enough money, and he doesn't want the reputation as someone who's just looking to screw teams over.

Spurs talking to Oden!
Fox Sport’s Sam Amico, AKA Greg Oden’s personal publicist, reports that the Spurs are among a handful of teams interested in the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, whose agent is “100 percent sure” he’ll be back in the NBA by next season.
“”He’s rehabbing and doing very well,” Oden’s agent, Michael Conley Sr., told Amico.
Amrico reports that Cleveland, Atlanta and Memphis are rumored to have already worked the 7-foot center out. Milwaukee, Chicago, Golden State and the Spurs were also mentioned as having interest. An additional report by ESPN.com listed Dallas among the potential candidates.

Leave it up to Greg Oden to hold up the deal between Aron Baynes and theSan Antonio Spurs.

I don't think the Spurs would hold off on Baynes of Oden. If they really want him, they'd probably trade play to make the room. Have the Spurs already paid the buyout?
I think it's a bad idea, but I would gladly eat crow if proven wrong.
Is the general thought here that its am either Baynes or Oden? could it well be an "and" instead?
I guess he narrowed his choice down to either Cleveland or Miami.
