Also hearing, as some others, that Aldridge has "real chance" for Spurs. A source said "Need to restructure couple things & trade Splitter."

fingers crossed that portland recognizes Splitter's true market value and throws in lillard to make it even
But LMA doesn't like playing with Lillard
Is that really from TP? If it is then its probably a lock.
s gone get cray when he plays with frenchie -
Another reason I am uncertain about Aldridge. Do we really want someone who can't get along with other professionals?
Hopefully team culture keeps it in line. Spurs have a history though of getting rid of malcontents rather than finding ways of making it work. Dennis Rodman anyone? DeJuan Blair?
Obviously, LMA seems like a good character guy, not sure what is going on in Portland...
What are Blazer takes on LMA - like him? think he's soft? prefer Lillard?
No idea. Where's Tlong when you need him?
Tlong=
Wonder if Brooklyn could use Splitter considering Plums now gone... Would you trade for a future 1st?
Wonder who "the source" is.... Anyone think it's from the Spurs camp??
they could especially use him once brook lopez opts out... if aldridge doesnt work a sign and trade for lopez could be a contingency plan
The source is this thread.
It has been widely assumed in league circles that the Spurs would be forced to try to trade veteran forward Tiago Splitter to help create the needed salary-cap flexibility to handle the max deals San Antonio has earmarked for Leonard and the likes of Aldridge or Memphis' Marc Gasol and still have room to accommodate Duncan and Ginobili at reduced salaries if the latter two chose to play on. But sources told ESPN.com that the Spurs actually rebuffed trade interest from teams hoping to pry Splitter away in conjunction with Thursday's NBA draft, raising the possibility that Splitter might also stick around.
So according to this they value Tiago more than Danny. And I must point out, that there was interest in Splitter.
Could also be that they're holding off on trades until they get a promise from Aldridge.
If the Spurs ditch Green
Just wondering, if the Spurs renounced Marco, Manu, Duncan, and Green, wouldn't that be enough for the max? How much could Duncan and Manu get in this scenario? Would they take that lil?
Maybe if they gave some guaranteed money for year 2 with player options?
This makes the most sense. They can always trade Splitter for a future first round pick.
Yep. Looks like the FO seems to think Tiago is an integral part of the team. I think the Spurs will make danny an offer and if he doesn't take it, they are content with letting him walk.
