Sorry Kingspeed

Psycho T is a UFA!!!!

You know, I'm not advocating this in the slightest, but if there was space enough to sign Redick and Psycho T I might, in the words of Wookie, asplode.

too many white guys on the team. I think we'd be fined.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Then MIN would be bankrupt.

That's from the exit interviews. Things change during free agency.

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 1m
RT @ESPNSteinLine Hearing Spurs and Tiago Splitter have ramped up talks and are making progress toward deal terms

Why the fuck would we want him if wants to stay in Portland anyway?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I'm not saying I'd want him. I'm saying pinwheel is saying that because that's what was said in the exit interviews.

If Nolan still doesn't have a team and we still need a third Pg at the end of free agency Its not outlandish to think it could happen.

He's on the short list of players I would most like to punch in the face. What need to we have for him now, with TRob here?

 

[BrianFromWA]

because, while I really like the promise of TRob, all Psycho T does is rebound, play tough on both ends of the floor (picks, taking charges), is a pretty dang good team defender, and gets so many foul shots (at 76%) per real shot that even though he shoots 43% from the field, his TrueShooting % is the same as LMA (53%).

Now, where does he fit in in the LMA/Robinson/Freeland/Leonard/Withey big man rotation? that's another matter. I'm just saying, if you want to talk about "scrap", "D", "toughness", "rebounding", "no ego"--he's your man. And now available.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 3m
Word is teams that were pursuing restricted free agent big man appear to be dropping off in anticipation of Spurs & Splitter coming to terms

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 2m
San Antonio is finalizing a five year, $45 million contract extension for center Tiago Splitter, league sources tell Y! Sports.

our best wouldn't be good enough for that.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
With threat of a Portland offer sheet lingering, Spurs, Splitter working out details of an agreement today, sources tell Y!

 

[B-Roy]

our best wouldn't be good enough for that.

Good. I wouldn't have wanted to pay him 11 million a year.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think this is a Hibbert situation:

SAS: "Portland, tell Splitter what your best will be."
POR: "x,y,z"
SAS: "OK. Splitter, we're going to do that. Now, Portland, please don't offer him a sheet so that we can sign other people first, and then get to Splitter."
POR: "Sure."

 

[B-Roy]

Spurs fans think it's too much.

So what do we get in return?

It is too much

 

[Carlito]

Spitter gone... Blazers better move their ass

 

[RR7]

So what do we get in return?

We don't sit around for three days, only to have them match

 

[illmatic99]

our best wouldn't be good enough for that.

I expected around ~7-9mil/yr but not for 5 yrs. Wow. Big risk considering he's already 28. Guessing there are some options for the later years..?

 

[Carlito]

Jeez sounds like we are actually getting worse.... Losing Hickson and Maynor. Robinson is obviously a project that two teams passed on.

 

[illmatic99]

Spitter gone... Blazers better move their ass

Considering how quiet we apparently are, I'm guessing we are waiting for Dwight to make his move, and the dominoes will fall for us soon after.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Only 4 years for 36...

Still how the hell does he get so much?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 21s
Portland had the space to offer a four-year, $36M offer sheet on Splitter.

I think youre right Brian

 

[RoyToy]

Splitter isn't worth $9M, nor is he the kind of center Olshey covets

 

[Draco]

So what do we get in return?

One less team with free agent money to compete with? There should be some good bargain buys or amnesty claims in a few weeks.

 

[BBert]

We also get the privelege of not overpaying Splitter for four years.
