I really think there has already been a handshake agreement, but the Spurs have asked him to keep quiet until after the draft.
Brazilian big website UOL is reporting the Spurs will probably offer a 5 year - $ 30 million deal soon and no Spain team will match it. It also says Tiago is here in Brazil on vacation
Para seduzir Tiago Splitter, San Antonio deve oferecer contrato milionário

No Rio de Janeiro
Ao que tudo indica, o futuro do brasileiro Tiago Splitter será na NBA a partir do segundo semestre deste ano. Após se destacar no Caja Laboral-ESP e comandar a equipe na conquista do título espanhol da temporada, o pivô deverá receber nos próximos dias oferta considerada irrecusável do San Antonio Spurs.
A equipe do Texas, que planeja renovar seus jogadores que atuam no garrafão, deve oferecer ao jogador brasileiro um contrato de cinco anos, com valores em torno dos 30 milhões de dólares. Números que dificilmente algum time espanhol poderá oferecer para segurá-lo no país.
Desta forma, é bem provável que finalmente se concretize a transferência de Tiago Splitter para o basquete norte-americano. Em 2007, o jogador chegou a participar do processo de escolha de novatos, o Draft, e foi escolhido pelo San Antonio Spurs, mas, na ocasião, preferiu permanecer na Europa, onde recebia um salário mais vantajoso.
Agora, os americanos podem subir a proposta e dificilmente perderão o jogador brasileiro, que acompanha as negociações no Brasil, onde passa férias desde o término da temporada espanhola, a qual foi eleito o melhor jogador do campeonato.

Nevermind. It was in the quote.
Does how much it will take to get Splitter mean the Spurs will not spend as much on Tony Parker?
It shouldn't affect it.
Splitter is legit. He will definitely be a big plus in our quest for the 5th ring. Spurs, sign him!
From SI.com: Coming attractions? Teams waiting on draft picks playing overseas
• Tiago Splitter, Spurs, No. 28 pick in 2007 draft. The Brazilian 7-footer is no stranger to diehard NBA fans, as his name has been on the radar for what seems like years now. He entered his name into the draft pool for the first time in 2004, and has continued to flirt with the NBA for the better part of six years.
Fresh off an ACB championship and Finals MVP award with Caja Laboral, the 25-year-old Splitter has never been more ready to come to the NBA than he is now. He's clearly the best center in Europe, averaging 16 points and 7 rebounds, shooting 58 percent from the field and showing promising defensive ability in the ultracompe ive ACB. Splitter is a mobile center with a good frame, great hands, excellent fundamentals and a high basketball IQ. He could step in and start for many NBA teams immediately and, unlike a lot of international prospects, will have few issues making the transition to the league's style of play.
Splitter finally could be poised to jump to the NBA: He can opt out of his deal in Spain this summer, and because he's three years removed from being drafted, he is eligible to be paid like an NBA free agent. Splitter will likely ask capped-out San Antonio to pay him the full mid-level exception, and he'll be worth every penny considering how desperately it needs him.
