    Big lost season. Matt Williams had a shot at Maris. The Expos were a superteam.
    But the Expos would have been in the World Series. Then Bud Selig ed up that team with his crap.

    Lorbek 2.0 - Another foreign player that will never come over. Spurs got jobbed in that trade but it's expected considering they were in a bind and desperately needed the cap space. Fantastic move for the Hawks.

    I'll be always thankful to Tiago for #5, but come on, this was a no brainer...

    Tony Gwynn wasnt hitting .400 and Matt Wiliams wasnt hitting 62 homers that season.
    Too bad we'll never know. Everyone around Gwynn said he never hit better than he did that season, and Williams would have seen the pitches because of Bonds.

    Printezis is a fine European player.
    I still remember how happy he was that Spurs drafted him in 07' just before learning he was traded to Raptors.

    Spurs didn't a that great return for Splitter but it really really doesn't matter given the cir stances. Spurs got ing Aldridge and West thanks to that trade!

    That's exactly right. The return on the Splitter trade was Aldridge. Hawks got a good value, but the Spurs got a legit shot at #6.


    A Top-55-protected pick, though. That made me laugh. "Hmmm... if we have the 54 pick, we really need to keep that." I don't think Printezis has any interest in coming over, so it's literally a bag of chips. But we got LMA. This is no time for buyers' remorse.

    Semi correct. They get a TE, but have to renounce it for cap space.

    I'm just too damned lazy to think it through today, so I'm just gonna ask you.

    If the Spurs finish signing guys, and move up over the cap, do they gain a MLE?

    Printezis is actualy a pretty good player and can play great defense. Sucks that he will never come to the Spurs.

    No sir. You only get cap space or MLE.

    Now Spurs organization knows what it felt like when Lebron blocked Splitter in 2013 finals.

    Blah. Wonderful return. Rolls eyes. Another Euro bum who will never play in the Silver and Black.

    seriously? people are complaining? we're having an early 2000s-lakeresque offseason...and people are complaining that the hawks didn't throw in more after allowing us the cap space to sign LMA and west?

    i get people being worried about the backup 3, replacing belli, and even still being worried about the 3rd PG. but complaining about this trade? the trade that was the keystone of the offseason? really?

    If the Spurs get more than a second round pick for Splitter, I'd be surprised. Sure, he's worth more than that but it's the timing that I think cost the Spurs. Instead of allowing the Hawks to explore with their salary cap room, the Spurs needed the deal done ASAP in order to make everything crystal clear prior to the Aldridge meeting. Thus, the Spurs really didn't have much leverage in the negotiations.

    It obviously worked out well for the Spurs but I just can't imagine they got anything close to equal value for Splitter. Even if they get essentially nothing, it'd still be a great trade, especially since everything panned out perfectly following this risky move.
    That's what I said yesterday, so this is actually a little more than I thought the Spurs would get in the Splitter trade. I've seen Printezis play a few times and he looked pretty darn good. I have no idea if he ever wants to come to the NBA but I think he could be a 9th or 10th man.

    doubtful. This guy probably never comes and we will probably never get to pick anything for the protected pick.

    I guess I'll dry my tears in a LaMarcus Aldridge jersey.

    From trading Splitter we signed LaMarcus Aldridge. We wouldn't have been able to sign Aldridge without losing Splitter. Not sure why that return isn't good enough.
