What's the deal with Tiago Splitter?

[exstatic]

That guy was 'alright' way before we picked him.

Actually, he was a nobody with almost no international resume in 1999, when we picked him. Spurs actually flipped a coin or something.

guys.. just close the door on splitter already..

i have.. life's been much more pleasant..

I have. If he comes, I'll view him as a really great FA pickup. It's really not far from the truth. Owning his rights doesn't mean much if he doesn't want to come.

Nikola Pekovic is the best center in Europe.
Thiago Splitter is right there though.

Unlike centers in half of the NBA teams, he can actually play basketball, not just set picks, bump into people and grab a missed FT rebound.

However, why he would want to go to the US playing 3 times more -mostly irrelevant- games, for half the money, that I don't know.

There is no deal. That's the problem.

if he comes over and can produce anything more that marc gasol, then we have a winner....

He mainly stayed overseas to be near his dying sister and to have the monies needed to care for her.

That's what they said about Spannoulis too?...WTF
