    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?

    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.

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

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

    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."

    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..?

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

    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.

    Portland had the space to offer a four-year, $36M offer sheet on Splitter.

    I think youre right Brian

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

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