So did we roll out the red carpet for Splitter yet? Or we're trying to lowball him and explain how if he signs for half the MLE we can resign Bonner?
Stop worrying so much, everyone. I stand by my prediction:

He'll be here soon.
i think its simple show him the MLE or watever is the salary cap, and take a pick as this is what we can currently offer...take it or leave it...
Dang.... can we just get him in here and a defensive SF like Raja Bell?
Well, give them some credit, they're going to ask that he leave room for Richards and a D-League prospect or two as well -- Tiago will take his 2M and like it!
lol
For all we know he's sipping Margaritas in his honeymoon right now...
Lol that seriously is probably what's going on. When was he married? like 5 days ago? He will prob come to San Antonio towards the end of his honeymoon to spend a couple days in SA and sign the contract lol. I'm convinced.
Inside info from Manu (via Twitter)...

His one hour show "A Decisão" is gonna be on TV GLOBO this week. RT @koroisthebest: So any update with Tiago?

It was Manu showing his great sense of humor and poking fun at LeBron's televised "decision" event.
ahh i was about to post manu's twitter post
that is golden
We need Splitter really badly now.
Wow, I didn't know Manu speaks Portuguese and watches TV Globo
Manu's funny. I love his little joke after that about the rumor of Scola going to Miami
Can't wait for the ST meltdown after this one.
Manu's tweets lately have been hilarious.
So... what's the word on Splitter? Nothing new?

El Correo: Ball is still in San Antonio's court
Tiago Splitter should be taking a look at the movements in the NBA free agency. A last minute interest by Shaquille O'Neal to play on the San Antonio Spurs promises to put a new twist in the brazilian player's future. Meanwhile, San Antonio is looking to offer a five million per year contract as an option to sign up Splitter so it won't affect their bottom-line too much.

TUBASKET: Splitter needs the Spurs to make an offer. Shaq, in the middle.
The NBA dream has an expiration date.
Splitter needs to communicate his decision to Caja Laboral before July 15. That's when the exit clause in his contract expires.
All the actors in this soap opera make it a given he will make the jump to the best league in the world.
"I am grateful, but my idea is to play in the NBA", said the brazilian player after receiving his last renewal offer from Baskonia.
The president of the club, Josean Querejeta, considers "normal" his departure and is already looking for a subs ute, although he says "he's the best in his position in Europe and an irreplaceable player".
Two months ago, the words from San Antonio Spurs GM, R.C. Buford were unequivocal: "It's no secret we would like to have Splitter".
And even a myth of the franchise, like David Robinson was in favor: "The FO has been waiting for a while. He's got talent and it would be a great pickup".
With all the stars aligned... where's the offer?
The contract negotiations with Splitter put a hold on all the other operations on the franchise. The most realistic option is a contract for the 'mid level exception', about 5 million per year that do not count against the salary cap.
To make everything less clear, Shaquille O'Neal is making himself available to the successful texan franchise, a place where he played during his high school years.
Shaq, 38 years old, wants to play two more seasons and he would like a last shot at a ring (he has four) next to Tim Duncan.
According to 'Fanhouse', San Antonio and Atlanta are the two teams interested in the legendary center, although he wants a salary over of what the 'mid level exception' can offer.
(did not translate the rest which is basically rumors of the TP trade to NY for Tony Douglas)
