Yahoo: News on on a potential Tiago Splitter offersheet

[ElNono]

That would work financially. I don't know why the Rockets would go for it, though.

Bonner expiring, DeColo on a rookie deal (cheap to waive if they want to), picks are picks?

[RD2191]

Baynes

[benefactor]

Sign it. First, what's the alternative? Spurs fan acts like there are other reasonable options.

Second, Splitter is a quality starting 5 in the NBA. Spurs fan holds him to dominant expectations but wants to pay him the MLE.

Last, the Spurs are trying to keep the window open one more season. I could care less about 2015.

Marcus with the voice of reason goods.

The regular season contribution will mean jack if he disappears in the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row.

[Marcus Bryant]

Baynes? Right, the people's champ.

[timtonymanu]

I'd love to hear who would be a better replacement for the same money.

I swear if someone says Baynes...

And as expected, the dumbass greys answered your question.

[tmtcsc]

Folks, The Whopper aint walking through that door....

Baynes hasn't shown anything on an NBA level, at a consistent stretch, that he's ready for the starting spot.

I think they'd like De Colo, but I imagine they'll try to get something really good for Asik. Like Josh Smith, LaMarcus Aldridge good for him (not by himself, but as the headliner of a package). They'll at least want cap space to try to sign another free agent. If the Spurs S&T Splitter and get a trade exception in return, then I could see a deal being struck.

[Keepin' it real]

Baynes is already better, he's not a pussy and has an actual jumper...

Baam with his usual drooling, pulling out of his adult diaper and smearing it on the wall bads.

Spur fan will easily turn on him like they have with Splitter if he doesn't play to their expectations.

[TE]

Lolol people hyping up Baynes up to be something more than a bruiser white stiff.

SpursTalk at the end of 2012 West Finals: "Why didn't Splitter play more? If he had played more, Spurs win. Dumb Pop."

SpursTalk at the end of 2013 NBA Finals: "Splitter sucks. He's the reason the Spurs lost the le. Don't pay that guy his market value. Dumb Pop."

Splitter played an important role in us getting to the finals. I want him back; I like the guy and its looking more and more like he's better than any FA option out there.

My problem with Tiago is that he was a huge disappointment in the finals. Like I said earlier, he should have dominated the Miami bigs. Or at least, played at a similar level as he did in previous series. He's gotta improve his interior game if he wants to prove that he's worthy of the big money he's asking for.

[Baam]

Only time they have so much flexibility in the Duncan era and they throw everything at scruby Splitter...

[Chinook]

Honestly, Splitter's probably a top-10 center already. He's at least top-15. That's worth seven figures a year, and especially worth an Asik deal.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Yeah, that was my bad. It was Brooks/Delfino that was released.

Honest mistake.

[Chinook]

He is to Splitter as Paranoid Pop was to Green.

[HemisfairArena]

If Splitter gets more than 6 mil/yr and Manu gets more than 4 mil/yr...our front office has done an epic fail.

[ElNono]

I think they'd like De Colo, but I imagine they'll try to get something really good for Asik. Like Josh Smith, LaMarcus Aldridge good for him (not by himself, but as the headliner of a package). They'll at least want cap space to try to sign another free agent. If the Spurs S&T Splitter and get a trade exception in return, then I could see a deal being struck.

I was reading they're shopping Asik and Lin because they want to shred most of those salaries... apparently the Rocket's plan is to surround Harden, Parsons and DH with cheap vets... I can actually see Bonner being useful for a team with DH inside, tbh...

[RD2191]

Bet any of you gots Baynes will put up better numbers than Splitter this coming season.

The Spurs should let Splitter go. Hopefully, take advantage of the extra cap space.

I saw an overweight and out of shape Diaw do more than Splitter in the finals.
