Not sure I do that anyway. Asik is a better option than Splitter imo. If I was looking to replace Asik, I wouldn't want another slow white guy center. I think the defense and team in general needs to be a bit more athletic if they are going to compete with the Clippers/Rockets/Warriors over the next few years.

Still, it could be interesting if some of the guys on the Spurs retire. Maybe Manu or Duncan call it quits after this season. Not sure how it would work for next year, but I really do think EG should find a way to get to SA at some point in his career. Seems like a guy who would just fit in so well there. Can pass, shoot threes, and have no emotions.

* Side not, ppl are also insane to think Tyson Chandler would not be a massive upgrade on this team. Asik and Ajinca for 2 years of Tyson Chandler is a deal you do 100 times out of 100.

No one said Chandler isn't better.

Rather that it's silly to dump Asik and Gordon\whomever for the mere chance to sign Chandler. People are worried about over paying Asik. Well Chandler will cost more, will be 33 on opening night, and has 20k more NBA minutes than Asik. He missed ~50 games his last 2 years in NY. With this team's injury mojo, spending big $$ to get an aging big seems like an unsound investment.

Besides, I'm not convinced they need a dominant 5 in order to win in May/June. They need wing help more than a 5.
