Splitter was mentioned in the original report from Sheridan as the most likely guy headed out in the deal.

I wouldn’t read too much into those stats. Given no perimeter play on the Jazz creates as much pressure as Parker and Ginobili in the pick and roll. Also the Jazz often play Jefferson, Millsap, and Favors together with Millsap at the 3, which is a slow lineup when it comes to defensive rotations.

“Tiago Splitter the guy reportedly part of the package headed to Salt Lake”

What report was this Kurt? Because Splitter was not in the article you linked to, it was your trade scenario, which seemed pretty bad yesterday, and continues to look bad today.

Big Al is a better fit for a team like the Bucks, that really lacks a strong scoring presence down low. Despite the age of 36, Tim Duncan is still Tim Duncan and can still get it done, specially in playoff time. Don’t forget about Splitter, who is playing well and efficiently, ranking 3rd in the league in field goal % with 59,9%

“To me, numbers one and four are key.”

Umm, how about some respect for those amazing advanced statistics in 2 & 3. Jefferson is only due half of that salary because half of the damn season is over. Plus spread that out with the Spurs probably playoff run and it isn’t that expensive. But it doesn’t matter because the advanced stats say Tiago is better and especially better for the Spurs.

I understand your point (kurt) but splitter got push around by OKC in the playoff last year, if the spurs some how get AL I would be happy if they dont I hope come playoff time Tiago is more physical with other bigs!!!
