re: Spurs just resigned Splitter for 9 MILLION a year.

Ryan Anderson is the best stretch 4 it's not even close. He's the definition of the position.

He may be, but that doesn't mean the position is rare or more valuable than a center like Splitter.

Splitter isn't some overwhelming talent that is going to continue to get better he is most likely already hitting his ceiling.

---

And that ceiling is very valuable in the NBA.

Thats a lot of money to pay Splitter the dude gets blocked all the time.

He had a horrible finals, but he that doesn't make him a bad player

His biggest value might come on the defensive end, where he and Tim Duncan formed one of the more effective interior tandems in the NBA. The Spurs showed little improvement when those two played independently. When together, however, the Spurs allowed almost eight points fewer per 100 possessions with a mark that would have led the NBA over the entire season.
