Straight up A.
They kept the core of a championship level team intact. Plus they added another shooter and interesting prospect in Pendergraph.
Get ready for another DEEP playoff run, although many of you malcontents don't deserve to enjoy it.

+1D-
Some scrub frenchie drafted that will never come over
Turnobili 7 mil?
Splitter...
Some dude named Pendergraph?
Keeping Bonner
Having like 8 guards
Whiffing on AK
Still no legit backup PG
Manu 7 million and AK gets 3?
So if they get an A just got doing the obvious and bringing in some minor players, how would you grade a summer where they make significant, obvious improvements?

Solid C+ to B-

The Spurs didn't add anything to help them beat Miami, while they brought back the two worst players from the series, overpaying for them as well. This was the perfect opportunity to win and they blew it (well Manu did) Green setting an NBA Finals record for 3's, Duncan having a great year, Parker being a top 3 player, role players hitting shots, EVERYBODY was playing in the finals. , even the reffing was good!
This was one of the few times SA didn't get ed by the refs, what do you think the chances are of that happening again?
There's a saying: if it aint broke, don't fix it. Props to the Spurs for not overhauling a well-oiled machine.

Spurs were in a good salary cap situation and they didn't take advantage of it to improve their team so it's a disappointing offseason. Saying that, I can't give them a worst grade because they basically bring back a team that reach the finales.
B-
Ginobili's contract could of been a little better but I feel he will stay healthy all year & have one of his best seasonsin his career.
Was really hoping for AK47, and would of been a straight up "A" if we got him.
Got rid of dead weight in Dejuan Blair & Tracy Mcgrady, while we replaced them with two players that hate the Heat also, and want to get some revenge themselves & may have some inside information if we play the Bulls or Pacers if we make it to the finals.
Still don't think the offseason is over as I think after summer league they will shop one of Joseph or De Colo along with Bonner's expering contract, and Baynes to possibly get a back up small forward, small ball 4. If not I could see the Spurs trying it again at the trade deadline whoever is struggling the most they will trade that player.
Still see them signing Greg Oden also.

Its hard to fault the FO too much for the contracts Splitter and Manu received given some of the other contracts that have gone out this offseason and the fact that the team was a missed rebound/made FT away from a ring. However, as many have said before, its not reasonable or fair to expect the same production from Duncan next season and without it the Spurs needed to sure up some help.
I actually think Marco will benefit quite a bit from the Spurs system and the Pendergraph signing theoretically should help reduce Tim's minutes. However, its not really known how Pendergraph will pan out, and while a summer of rest might rejuvenate Manu, its clear that time and a long career of basketball have started taking its toll on him. The spurs still don't have a true backup SF for Kawhi despite the fact he was suffering from health issues for most of the season and was asked to still play +35 minutes a game. There is still no designated backup PG or anyone off the bench that can both facilitate the offense and create their own shot (other than Manu but again he has lost a step or two and given his penchant for injuries the last few seasons, I'm not sure you can really rely on him).

blowing money for Splitter will turn out to be a failure imho. Splitter is a decent role player but he's still just a role player, and we all witnessed how awful he looked out there on the court without Duncan.
There were players that put up similar numbers that took far less but some love Splitter because he was the first legit big the Spurs brought in and there is a love affair for loyalty
C. I consider this an avg offseason for the Spurs and by definition, that's a C.
Inc.
After seeing what the nets offered kirilinko, it was clear kirilienko did not want to play for the spurs regardless. They did what they felt is the best for the team, sadly, some crazy Russian had to ruin it for us. For the Back up PG, they believe in Joseph enough not to do anything about it. I think Joseph is still a huge question mark and my guess they're giving him till January to see if he'd be able to carry the back up PG duties. The Splitter deal was fair. I wanted something like 12/2 in 2 for Manu, still a good signing though.
Overall I'd give it a B+ so far.
Getting a backup small ball PF or a SF should make it an A.
D
They screwed the pooch with their cap space
D+ / C-.
You reasonably think Spurs will do another significant move?
B
The back up point guard has not yet been addressed so far. The Splitter and Manu signing is not bad but a bit higher than the should be price.
C
Manu's contract is neutral to me, tbh..it appears that both sides were content with the number and it didn't affect their off-season plans, or at least it doesn't seem like it from all the comments, etc..obviously a lower number would have been ideal..
Splitter got fair value, tbh..he was one of the top 15 or so defensive bigs in the league this year, despite having pussy lips, tbh..
Belinelli and Neal are a wash, and if they decide to keep both, Beli is obviously an upgrade over De Colo or Mills, tbh..I don't know if it was worth it, though..
I like Pendergraph as a potential 4th big, we'll see..
It appears that the Spurs are confident that Leonard will take the next step, Joseph will progress and there aren't any dominant teams in the NBA at the moment(especially with the only other team in the West that was on the Spurs level last year losing Martin)..
I agree with Bruno, though..it's a shame that the Spurs haven't made a move, a notable move with their cap space could have put the Spurs ahead of the rest of the league IMO..
