Trade, Tiago Splitter, Atlanta Hawks,San Antonio Spurs

I saw 'heavily protected' and thought whaaat - a 1st - hahaha.

I was alittle worried about what we gave up but we basically got a starting caliber center making under 10 mil for free.

 

We actually used our cap flexibility to get an asset for once

LOL. Wow. Basically for free then.

That is exactly what I expected/hoped to see.  They get their cap room.  We get a solid player.  No real value from us to them because they get LA.

Unless Pretenzis turns into a stud for the Spurs, lol.

Don't joke about that...in 1999 I was laughing at the Spurs taking a guy named Ginobli...:-(

I thought about that, so I checked up on him, he's already 30 so I think we're good.

Wait a minute:; his profile said he was drafted by the Spurs in 2007, how'd the Hawks end up with him?

Edit: he was traded a bunch of times we ended up with him in the Thabo SnT from OKC.

Looking at Hawks.com it's finally dawning on me that the team's colors are basically red, black and green......a lil on the nose there, Koonin. Way to distance yourself from Danny by being just a lil bit more African.

I knew Georgios would be traded. If someone could manage to get him in the NBA, he could have a Luis Scola like impact but he loves Euro ball too much.
