  • Splitter Wants to Play in the NBA

    Josean Querejeta, president of Caja Laboral, admitted that Tiago Splitter wants to play next season in the NBA, where the San Antonio Spurs own his rights, and that it will be normal his departure to the United States. The 25-year-old Brazilian center, MVP of the last ACB league, has an opt-out clause to move to the NBA next summer, after averaging 14.2 points and 7.8. rebounds last season. Splitter has been a member of Caja Laboral since 2000.

      Spurs would be really stupid if they don't pick him up. He's got length and some serious skills. Give him a year or two and you might have a starting center.

              The Raptors have nothing to offer outside of their lottery pick or a Bosh sign and trade that would be enough to convince San Antonio to give up Splitter.

                Remember this, the Spurs traded Luis Scola for Vassilis Spanoulis. Splitter may not come with a big price tag. He was a 28th overall selection after all.

                The Raptors have expiring contracts, 2nd round picks, Marco Belinelli, bird rights to Wright(S&T) and the rights to Georgios Printezis. Splitter isn't worth a 13th overall selection. No one would pay that much.
