No one will want him, he's soft, lability on offence that make him useless with the small ball way the nba going to...
the george hill trade proved to me that our FO will trade anyone (regardless of popularity and the resulting lack of depth it may create) if they feel it yields a great investment so i don't discount the rumors, but with the spurs rumors are always just that.
If we shopping Splittter something big is in the making. Unusually big for us.
His durability is the main question but we only need him healthy for the playoffs.
Please let Willie Cauley-Stein end up with the Spurs. He would be a terrific replacement for Tiago and a nice compliment for Tim/LaMarcus.
I'm not surprised fanboys publicly ban themselves from this site and then come back. They usually have low IQ's.
Maybe the Spurs can pull of another Kawhi with a bigman in the draft.
The Spurs practically let him sit all season long and there was never an indication on the court where you could say, oh wow he hurt himself there. He spent all season being managed and still came up lame in the playoffs. Spurs see the writing on the wall, small window of effectiveness and a deal where his value can net something positive.
what is yours?
let me guess you are 20 and know everything
Bucks, Hawks make sense for Splitter.
Bucks can absorb his salary too without SA taking on any salary.
I would be amped up if we got him or Myles Turner.
Already planning a rebuilding phase?
Splitter is as much a china doll as Beno Udrih was. Worse even.
What??? For the longest time Batum was one of the "untouchables" for the Blazers. I wonder what finally made them want to trade him.
if splitter could play 60 games 30 minutes a game without getting hurt including playoffs spurs could afford him
They say we're chasing pick 14 from okc. Wonder if we like Bobby Portis?
Why would okc and Spurs do business?
Presti connection maybe?
Oh man, glass legs splitter with Portland's doctors, oh he's gonna die, , !
While the Hawks thing is technically true (The best kind of true) It seems pretty unlikely. As Millsap and Carroll are early bird free agents, the Hawks are limited in their ability to resign them - particularly for Carroll, given his tiny salary. Splitter in a S & T probably means losing one of those guys. I don't think they'll be willing to do that.
Agree on Bucks making sense.
it couldn't be Parkeritis because Splitter didn't experience the rapid unexpected weight gain.
No Splitter = first round exits in 2011/2015
A lot of revisionist history in here also. He didn't play his first 2 seasons because of Pops obessions with Blair and Bonner. It wasn't until Blair got hurt in 2012 that he became the starter and moved up in the rotation. In 2013 he played 81 games. Last year he had minor injuries that resulted in about 20 missed games throughout the season. This year he had was the only major injury.
Those who are diminishing his value are wrong, but if the Spurs want to go after a big FA then something has to give. The Spurs could sacrifice Green (and may still), but they're better positioned to absorb the loss of Splitter both in who they have on the roster and in what they're going after in FA.

I don't like it. Splitter is injury prone, but he's played late into the playoffs the last 3/4 years. Dude was beat up. He'll be fresh for next year though, and I think he stands a better chance of staying healthy. He's one of the top 3-5 defenders at his position in the league. Huge part of our defense when healthy.
Its why I think the Spurs have to do everything in their power to retain Splitter, Green and Leonard. Defensively, it gives us a chance in almost every game.
