The only one the Spurs feared might leave was Splitter. Therefore, get him taken care of early and then you can clearly evaluate the other options.
The Spurs have an "understanding" with Manu that will allow the terms of his return to be dictated by what else they might do during the FA season. He's in Argentina and neither side is sweating it. So expect the terms of his deal to be announced last.
So far, things are going according to plan.
Sound about right. Anyone expecting the Spurs to make a move at a major FA acquisition or huge trade will be disappointed. Until Timmy's wheels fall off you're going to see tweaks, not overhauls.

Now we'll do neither.
You'll need to show your work here.
As it is, the next move is to try to talk someone into taking an MLE discount.

How about some internal improvement. Get Kawhi and DG handling the ball more. Starting running more offense out of Splitter on the block.
