Last season's minutes leaders for the Spurs in the playoffs were:

Player.........MPG...Total
Tim Duncan 37.9 493
Tony Parker 36.5 475
Bruce Bowen 34.0 442
Manu Ginobili 32.8 426
Michael Finley 31.6 411
Brent Barry 23.2 301
Robert Horry 17.2 224
Rasho Nesterovic 12.7 114
Nazr Mohammed 11.8 94
Nick Van Exel 11.1 133
Beno Udrih 6.7 47
Fabricio Oberto 4.9 34

So far this off-season, the Spurs have made some minor adjustments to their roster (Salary adjustments had a bit more impact).

Player.........MPG...Total
Tim Duncan 37.9 493
Tony Parker 36.5 475
Bruce Bowen 34.0 442
Manu Ginobili 32.8 426
Michael Finley 31.6 411
Brent Barry 23.2 301
Robert Horry 17.2 224
Rasho Nesterovic 12.7 114 offer made to RFA Francisco Elson
Nazr Mohammed 11.8 94 offer made to RFA Jackie Butler
Nick Van Exel 11.1 133 replaced by Jacque Vaughn
Beno Udrih 6.7 47
Fabricio Oberto 4.9 34

Non-playoff roster players
Sean Marks replaced by Matt Bonner
Melvin Sanders replaced by Eric Williams

It is doubtful that the Spurs are finished. When you look at prime-time minutes, it appears that the Spurs have left well enough alone with it's top 7 although they tried and failed to replace the #6 guy with a younger, more athletic player.

the spurs were one dirk putback away from being run out in 5. the spurs have yet to find a guy who can play the 4 and yet defend like a 3 this offseason. i wont be surprised to see if bonner, eric williams and whoever else can handle that next season.

im not too optimistic

If these deals go through, they are done except for trade attempts with Barry or Williams.

....and when those fail then williams will get the nice fluff piece by ludden about his nba life.

Would trading for Pietrus improve the rebounding?
