Same statement I made.
If Tiago is in the trade it seems like a third team would have to be involved. A one year transition is close to perfect for Len's development.
Same statement I made.
yeah I think got trigger happy when I saw Spurs mentioned in a trade, lol, seemed like an odd rumor to make up though
I understand Some here that may like this trade. I however never saw the hype in this guy. Seems it would be just a lateral move to me, both have different good and bads that make them on par with each other, but I think Splitter has the slight edge by knowing the Spur's system.
Probably Texas2Step doing his offseason work.
Yeah. It doesn't make sense for Phoenix to want Tiago.
Well, if this rumor is true, Splitter is a great player to put next to an up and coming center because he can play at power forward yet still handle the banging in the middle. Gortat can't play at PF.
lol "take that Splitter"
Apparently he broke the news on a few trades last summer as well.
this. Polish Hammer is an underrated nig. He was doing some good stuff with Nash before Nash got too old.
dude goes to the rim hard, Tiago does some things good for us but he's too slow and soft around the rim most of the time.
If Omer Asik was averageing like 5 points 4 rebounds prior to getting paid in houston, a Tiago with that average 10 points and 6 rebounds will be wanted by many teams.
A lot of other things would have to happen for me to be satisfied with this move. In a vacuum, it's not that great.
Take away Parker and Ginobili and Splitter is down to 5 and 5. Put backs and FTs.
But this is a team that started Channing Frye as a four until he had his health problems. They give extended power-forward minutes to the Morris twins and Michael Beasley. I don't think they want a four that plays like Splitter does, at least not for a big long-term deal. I know it's a different regime now, but their roster isn't built to play two seven-footers at the same time.
Also, it wouldn't make sense if the Suns are trying to get cap space for 2014. If that's the case, wouldn't they prefer someone with a one year contract?
I think he has reached a ceiling, beyond which he needs to get a solid jump shot to be any better.
Not going to happen, if it didn't after 3 years of Engelland.
i agree with timvp's notion that this trade would indicate the spurs have a move in mind to bolster the power forward position, since they would be losing some position flexibility by flipping tiago for gortat in this deal. besides, having gortat for 1 year means we have will have flexibility next summer as well. its as if we can replace Splitter at center with similar talent/value without having to make the 3-5 year commitment we'd have to make with Tiago right now
Was he healthy now? I remembered him got injured halfway of the season last season.
Yeah I'm a little skeptical on the source, but it be a "serious discussion" almost always happen.
Don't know how I feel about a Gortat for Splitter/Diaw swap unless Kirilenko is going to sign here.
The Suns supposedly want to make a run at Josh Smith. I think they'd be interested in moving Gortat to get the necessary cap space to make Smith a compe ive offer. But I don't think they're trying to worry about the free-agent class next season. They'll be in the Wiggins sweepstakes again.
care to explain?
Yesterday......
Splitter's isn't worth the kinda money that teams are gonna throw at him! He's too soft! He couldn't post up Derek Fisher or D Wade!
Today.........
Don't trade Splitter! We love him! He knows the Spurs system!
Splitter's soft. It's that simple. That doesn't mean he isn't a good player, but he can't hit an outside shot! My fellow Spursfans are very emo!! If it's about "winning" and not "feelings", we go for Gortat!
