    Keeping Manu and Splitter was a plus, but both were overpaid.

    Keeping Bonner on a 4m contract was dumb.

    They signed a good SG in Marco, but the team still lacks a reliable backup PG and Kawhi still has no backup (so, small-ball coming up).

    D...wasted a great opportunity to improve the team with cap space. Instead we be brought back the worst performers in the Finals at bloated prices and signed a lateral move shooting guard. Also, we wasted a first round pick on a foreign player that will not see court time in the Duncan era and Pendergraph will never crack the rotation ahead of Bonner, who will retire a Spur.

    They did nothing to match up any better with Miami or a healthy OKC next year, I think we are in for a short playoff run.

    Could've been an A if we got AK-47. The only good thing that comes out of his decision to join the formed superteam in Brooklyn is that they make the East more top-heavy strong...Miami is really going to have difficulty getting to the finals if they don't get bigger. Relying on Lebron to do everything will take it's toll. Brooklyn has the pieces to hurt Miami outside and inside and they have players that can defend Miami's perimeter game well (Lebron).

    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..
    This.

    last time this board celebrated an A+ off season was in 2009, when the Spurs acquired a guy named Richard Jefferson.
    so this board traditionally isn't very much on spot, when judging the Spurs offseason moves.
    that said, I give a B and it isn't over yet.
    keep a core intact is often easier said than done. (see Mavs 2011)

    and Pendergraph will become another Danny Green story. book it.

    Every time we talk about not getting a star player someone brings up Richard Jefferson as an example to never go after a star player, again. Using this logic we should never resign an ex-Spur, again (Jax).

    Well said. The storm over RJ in 2009 didn't help the team, and the meltdown after the WCF loss in 2012 didn't hurt it.

    keep a core intact is often easier said than done. (see Mavs 2011)
    Not quite applicable in this case; Manu was never a threat to leave and Splitter was restricted. The rest of the core was already under contract.

    and Pendergraph will become another Danny Green story. book it.
    Ok now you're reaching.

    I'll give it a C-.Belinelli and Pendergraph could become good asquisitions.But the Spurs basically blew their cap space and none of the major problems are resolved.No help for Tim in the paint,no back Sf, load of guards and we don't know who the backup pg is....It seems they've put all their eggs in one basket and that's Kirilenko in S&T.No wonder they failed.It could have been done much easier.

    C. Manus and Tiagos contracts are great and so are the two new guys.
    Wish they would have gotten AK, but he was going to the Nets all along.
    If they get Oden then I'll give them a B.
    And if they also get a good SF, not another scrub or another guard, I'll give them an A.
    But they kept Bonner, thus the C.

    Getting Splitter and Ginobili back at a reasonable price was good, but they really needed a backup point guard and didn't get it done
    report out that blazers agreeded with splitter for 4 years 36 million
    spurs decided to match and did not sign offer sheet

    Bruno can you confirm this:

    Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA
    .@tonyparker commits to play for Les Bleus in Eurobasket in Slovenia in Sept., per FIBADaily bit.ly/12Joz3d


    He committed to the NT a long time ago alongside Diaw and De Colo. All 3 have been on the NT roster given 2/3 weeks ago.

    Since the end of the season, Parker has been spotted at the Reunion (a french island in Indian Ocean), in France and he is in now in China. He seems to hate to just chill during the summer and has always this crazy schedules.

    Considering this team almost won the championship, keeping it together isn't bad at all. Even if they had a couple of chances to improve significantly, I'm not upset about mostly staying pat and adding two solid players.

    Adding the two solid players will be bigger than most think IMO! Those two will be upgrades over Blair and Belli will take some good mins IMO from some people.

    Worst offseason ever. For a team that supposedly does more with less, this offseason we did less with way more. Just terrible.
    Really? This was worse than giving RJ a monster contract? Worse than the monster Francisco Elson/Jackie Butler offseason?

    at lets just keep the team together because this team almost won the championship

    1. The Spurs didn't even win the championship.
    2. Spurs actually won the championship in 2007, kept the same team together and were slapped down in 2008. They were the actual champions yet failed to make it back to the finals. Logically, how will a team that ALMOST won the championship fare better than a team that actually won it all?
    3. I doubt the Spurs will have a another lowest turnover game in finals history (tied at 4TOs). Also doubt Green will have another best 3 pt shooting in NBA finals history. Without those two flukes, Spurs win one or two games max.

    Liked the Marco signing and glad the Spurs didn't overpay Splitter but that's pretty much it.

    , 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?
    If you remember the final moments of Game 6 in OT Manu got absolutely mobbed with no foul coul and Chris Bosh body-checked Danny Green at the 3 point line as the final seconds left the clock. Huge huge no-calls that could have been all the difference in OT.

    c+. was a bit disappointed in our underwhelming summer but we had some good signing so not all is totally bad. I mean it's not like the 92 summer when we didn't get chuck and chuck ended our season with a jumpshot in front of Robinsons face
