That they are, but Tiago Splitter is untouchable, unless of course a ridiculous offer like Carmelo for him or something along those lines are offered. Tiago Splitter is supposed to fill Duncan's role when Duncan is finished, and for right now he takes a lot of the minute load away from Duncan so Duncan can rest and not play that much until the playoffs. Splitter could have a pretty good rookie season as I expect him to get 20+ minutes game in and game out.
