Tiago making 10 mil, did they think someone else would give him more, geez.

[jjgold]

James should go to Spurs

Tiago making 10 mil, did they think someone else would give him more, geez.

Actually Portland wanted him badly and a few other teams as well.

[Easy-Rider 66]

And SA has the best Coach.

[paco]

Leonard in for a big payday

[rm18]

Lol how did jeff ayres get that much money he is not even an nba player

[Roadtrip635]

Guys wanted to play together and willing to sacrifice for the team. Unselfish on and off the court.

[jtoler]

But were they gonna exceed 10 mil? If so theyre dumb too, I like him and he's good for the Spurs, but he's not worth close to that in relation to some other bigs.

[Seattle Slew]

Duncan making only $10 million is amazing. Consider, Kris Humphries made $12 million each of the last two years.

[44 Mag]

James should go to Spurs

He could probably go anywhere he wants. LOL. I bet OKC would love to have him.

Him and Bynes suck, not sure what Pop sees in them. Think Pop likes having alot of guys from all over the world on him team.

The price was going to be in the 9-10 million range. The game may belong to the guards, but big men still get paid. This series and in the WCF, Splitter was average, but against Dallas and Portland, he was huge.

If you look at what other bigs were signing for, its pretty much the going rate for any serviceable 7 footer. Not many offensive minded big men these days and they still get bank for being big

Im more going by the stats, at 8 and 6 and not even a block a game, just dont think he's worth it, Spurs have enough scoring, all they need is a big who plays defense and rebounds. Id rather have Diaw on the floor than Splitter.

Splitts did a hell of a job on Dirk and LMA. Plays good defense without fouling, doesn't get a lot of blocks, but alters a ton. He passes well, solid box out rebounder. It's hard to look at his stats and say he's a good player, but you can make the case for every Spurs player. Like Pop said, it sucks to play for the Spurs, because it's going to hurt your stats. Stats aren't going to look nearly as impressive when every player is only getting 22-28 minutes.

Splitter gets his revenge on Lebron!

I agree with everything but should he be making 10 mil, the same as Duncan.

Splitts musta heard you talkin.

To be fair, Timmy takes a cut, so they can afford to bring in players and not just scrubs
