The Euroleague wants to keep their guys there. You are just beginning to see the effects of compe ion for players. Very shortly you will see the Euroleague salaries start to get more and more compe ive just so they can get guys to stay there.
Scola and Oberto...only with more physical ability to play in the NBA.
I agree that Biedrins is much better...he's much more athletic than Splitter.

Enough.
So 3 year long contracts now?
There should be a way to apply to the league for an exemption from the rookie salary cap when your draft pick is being offered more money to keep him out of the NBA -- that would be in the league's overall interest. (Sort of like applying to the league for an injury exemption from the cap.)
Then the league could grant the Spurs such an exemption as a "make up call" for the screwup at the end of Game 4.
Not a bad idea. Maybe the exemption becomes that you can use your MLE on that player.There should be a way to apply to the league for an exemption from the rookie salary cap when your draft pick is being offered more money to keep him out of the NBA -- that would be in the league's overall interest.

After today's game, Pete Mickael, a player of Tau, said that Splitter has signed a two year extension. When journalists ask Splitter to give a confirmation of that he said that they had to be patient.
While it makes few doubts that Splitter will sign with Tau, I wonder why they handle it like that.
If Splitter has signed his extension, why didn't they say it ?
If no, why his teammate says that he has signed it and what are they waiting to sign it ?
My guess : They are waiting the end of the league to said it and they have made a huge banner "we have ed Spurs, again..." just for that event.
Oh well. Hopefully the Spurs can improve without his ass. That would be nice; not even needing him after this.

Tau's franchise has happily raped the Spurs for summers on end.
The Spurs have raped themselves, it took Houston one week and 3 millions to land Scola, Spurs all-worshiped front office couldnīt do it in 5 years.
By the way, Houston is interested in Splitter Rights, Morey has said that he would like to have him and is willing to trade picks or money for them, actually Houston has nothing we want (they are not giving us Landry for him) but it could be funny to see if Houston lands goes on to UnLandable Redux with Splitter.
How did the Spurs rape themselves on the Splitter deal please.
I'm sure you have a link for this.
Well thats just fantastic.
Wonder if Biedrins can be had.
Maybe Houston will be willing to give back Scola :-(
That's not how prison rape works.
Basically from what iīve learned from the Scola experience two things go often againts the Spurs, first of all, the treatment, Scola was publicly quoted saying that they only contacted him by email, you know, thatīs not very polite, now in this thread there are some saying that Splitter decided after speaking to RC, well then is just more about this. Secondly, i think the Spurs are not selling the NBA correctly in all the good it have done to him they must speculate with marketing at some point because of the money it attracts, Scola was driven by the image rights to Houston because even when Houston was paying him 3 million dollars he received extra money in image rights and they benefits of playing alongside yao.
Later on Scola signed a shoe deal with anta (chinese shoes).
The Spurs actually want Splitter. Naturally they want the guy limited by the rookie scale and don't want the guy who they can spend the MLE on, but I digress.
For the last time: the Spurs didn't want Scola.
Wait, so that means Tiago is not coming this season to the Spurs?
Maybe he is close to signing but hasn't ironed out all the details or still has some reservations. I can't imagine him holding out for even more money, but who knows . . .
Or, maybe he wants to hear what the Spurs have to say before he tells them to off.
Or, maybe he isn't planning to sign with Tau after all, but because he doesn't want his plans to be a distraction for his team right now he is making his intentions ambiguous (and his teammates are making assumptions because of this).
I'm hoping for the last of these three scenarios, but right now that sounds like the long shot.
Yeah, the long shot is he's leaving but doesn't want his teammates to think he's leaving while they're in the playoffs so he tells them he's staying. Again, a long shot.
I'd rather assume he's gone....that way my spirits won't be broken twice. And if he comes over, I will actually attempt this () in real life.
Why not, all we had to do is offer cash last time and Spanoulis who promptly went home. RC has set a precedent of what he's willing to do. Face it your front office likes Daryl Morey and will trade with the Rockets. LOL Give us Splitter and we'll give you more cash
The Spurs didn't want Scola and they didn't want to pay the lux tax for Jackie Butler. Now they are $20 mil under that threshold. So, uh, no.
