    That SA package wouldn't work, I think I would have to work in a third and fourth team to get the value I think he is worth.

    Splitter is better than RoLo.

    Debatable. And rolo is 27, splitter is 30. Splitter plays like 20 mpg. He's not worth his contract. I sure as Hell don't want him if Aldridge is gone. I'd rather just resign Freeland for half the price. Dude would probably put up just as good of numbers as splitter

    More efficient, better Passer, knows what it takes to win a championship. Something no one on our team currently knows.

    Splitter's contract will be a drop in the bucket come next summer.

    Step 1: play for a top 3 coach of all time.

    Step 2: play alongside arguably best pf of all time.

    Step 3 : ?

    Step 4 : championship!

    He doesn't "know what it takes" any more so than luc Longley, bill wennington, etc.
    He's a good player. Unless he brings pop with him, his championship experience means shit.

    He does know what it takes, he was a key player for the spurs in their finals runs. Big moment experience matters. We seriously lack vets who have been to the top.

    Splitter is just not the guy. So glad we didn't get him that summer we went after him. I would much rather keep Rolo (who isn't even all that) and get Patty instead.

    Exactly. He might leave for another team who pays him the same as us, but I guarantee he will not leave if we pay him the most.
    He is making sure it is known that if Portland wants him, they better ante up. There won't be a home team discount. It's always been a business to him. (and it should be) But he showed no loyalty to Utah after they gave him a chance and he won't show any to us if a better situation comes along. It's a business and he, LMA, and Nic all know it. I don't like it, but I can't blame them.

    After the offseason the niners just had, anything is possible.

    Damn so it's pretty much near certain LMA is gone then based on this bad news from Wes?

    No, it's "fall in love with the players' wives and girlfriends, not the players".

    What news from Wes? Sounds like he is not sure we want him back. If Neil really wants him back then he will pay enough to get him back. But that has nothing to do with LMA

    You're right, it was more of a "you know". Not the pant shitting declaration that so many seem to want it to be.
