New Spur # 1 -- Tiago Splitter

Plusses:

  1. Brazilian. Check another country off the list.
  2. 7'-0"
  3. 22 years old.
  4. Named Tiago. That's fun.
  5. Teammates with Scola. Maybe the Spurs can get a two for one deal on their buyouts?
  6. Spurs can't sign him this year, which will help keep them below luxury tax levels.
Minusus:
  1. Brazilian. Manu and Oberto might shiv him. Just sayin'.
  2. Doesn't even have a buyout from Tau Ceramica until next summer.
  3. Cannot replace Jacque Vaughn.
  4. Occasionally looks like this while on the court:
