The Spurs drafted 25-year old power forward Tiago Splitter in 2007 with the 28th overall pick (first round) of the NBA Draft. He has been overseas playing for a few years but now he wants to come to the states to play. The Spurs will likely have to pony up a deal like 5 years for $25-$30 million bucks to have him cross the pond and head south. Splitter played in 16 games (14 starts) in the Euroleague last season and he averaged 26.4 minutes, 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Hopefully Splitter will play good enough for the Spurs to be worth the wait.

UPDATE: (7/13/2010) - The Spurs have signed Tiago Splitter to a 3-year, $10.9 million dollar deal.
