Tiago Splitter traded to hawks

[Plainview1981]

How can anyone with any sense at all think that this is a bad move?? I wonder about some of our fans. Low bbiq imo

 

Splitter sucks

Probably need to trade Mack and Scott for space for a wing. And hopefully bring Edy over for 3rd big

[BackForThe2ndTime]

Still think we will and should sign Millsap, assuming there is no better option to take that money. Allows us to play big or small, and not play the 30 year old guys big minutes.

Agree. I'm assuming Splitter starts even with Milsap signing. If Milsap doesn't sign, this moving of chess pieces isn't even fun anymore. We'd have to make a serious move to be contenders.

How could anyone want to pay 8million for Tiago?

That's pretty cheap for a above average center who knows the system. People don't realize the cap is exploding next year. Stop living in 2010.

That's still a hot garbage lineup. That shit ain't going to beat Lebron.

8M is a bargain contract for Tiago

It's a great deal

I'm just upset about losing DMC

We don't have the MLE.  Just the room exception.

It's the same lineup as last year minus Dmc. If we were healthy and had a center (Tiago) we would've been competitive in that series.

Splitter is an Antić replacement is how I see it.

We have to reup Sap.

Then we have to find a suitable SF to groom.  I say Jeremy Evans.

[RichardWinter]

Any Hawk fan complaining about this doesn't realise how good Tiago is. Perfect fit for him, if you bring back Millsap you'll be better than last year.

 

Also the max Orlando can offer Millsap is $80m/4yr, Hawks can offer $74m/4yr using his Early Bird rights. He's gonna stay.

[lethalweapon3]

Splitter's nagging calf issues probably make the 30-year-old more useful as a rim-protecting reserve than a starter. But in either case, we won't need 25+ minutes per game from him. He averaged under 20 last season, 23.5 in his final 15 games before getting to rest up for the playoffs.

It's not going to be good enough. They will be lucky if they win 48 games now.

Playing Tiago more than 18 minutes a game would be a huge mistake.

Who???

 A guy like Kelly Oubre maybe?????

If we really have to trade away Muscala for Splitter, I will be pissed off though.

No players under contract were traded for him.

I bet ya'll would have liked trading #15 for Mason Plumlee now, huh?

I like Splitter. I hope that he can bring some toughness on the block. But I hate using that much cap space for a backup center. As a matter of fact, I bet we got him as a starter. Adding offense at the SF position is very important now, especially if we lose Sap.

Eh.  He is more proven than THJ but we got Splitter without giving up a first and he and Plumlee are like twins except that Splitter is older and knows Bud's system already.

Splitter is older and costs a bit more. I'd prefer MP2 with some cap flexibility.
