What grade do u give Spurs offseason so far?

[xmas1997]

Since they are apparently not getting Oden, I am sticking with a C, but if they continue to go after guards when we already have 7, then they are going to get a D!

[Johnny RIngo]

Giving SA a D would be very generous at this point. We overpaid for a 36 year old Argie bag that won't even suit up for more than 50 games and signed a chucker in Belli(as insurance for the decrepit injury prone shooting guard). Oh yeah, we also brought in a scrub big man that won't play more than 5 mins a game.

Heat, Clippers, Rockets, Nets, Warriors and a whole slew of teams got better. SA and OKC did nothing to improve themselves and, in fact, probably got worse with the recent moves. At least OKC still has two young superstars to give them hope while SA is banking on the health of our 37 year old franchise player and our choke artist point guard. One of the most underwhelming off-seasons in SA history.

Ringo with the goods.

i'll grade this offseason like my physics class. I should've got a D but was fortunate to get an Inc. until I fixed some assignments and turned it into a B. not happy with overpaying Manu after he blew the finals but there is still a chance to fix some things. Just trying to look for a silver lining.

Pop hasn't stepped back to the GM position.

Bonner was not shown the door - again.

Neal & Blair allowed to leave - for nothing in return.

Manu paid strictly out of loyalty - the homer in me says it is a good move - the realist in me realizes this was a very bad move and will cost the Spurs dearly.

Tim should have retired - he gave all he had and Pop robbed him blind. Tim deserved better. Why come back when Lord Pop is still here?

[kobyz]

Worst grade possible!!! in a critical year in the Duncan era, year they had great financial room, the spurs not only stayed put, they somehow succeed to make the team worst... Why it's so hard for you t say that spurs front office is messed up, totally in trauma after the finals...

FO doing what they do best which is to take shortcuts year after year. Staying pat and calling it "corporate knowledge" takes A LOT of rocket science. Being a GM for the Spurs must the hardest job in the world. I mean most of the Spurs fans will call you the best FO in the NBA for staying pat (being stingy and lazy) and not winning a championship for the past 6 years when you have the GOAT power forward in Tim Duncan. I feel sorry for Timmy. He deserves better. The FO has screwed Timmy every year for the past 6 years.

Most would disagree with you, the team did not get worse, they just got older is all and at the very least stayed somewhat pat, with dependency on luck that they stay injury free.

Losing Neal for Belly is also a downside, you will see...

[Chomag]

Dropping my grade a bit more now from C+ to a D-. again overall it was a meh off-season and I dont think the spurs got worse. The thing that gives such a low score for me is that the Spurs actually had a real opportunity with money this off-season, and they blew it!

[xmas1997]

I seriously doubt that!

[kobyz]

I seriously doubt that!

Neal is all heart...

[xmas1997]

Neal is all heart...

Don't get me wrong, I liked Neal and wish him the best, he paid his dues and now he is finally getting compensated.
I just have a feeling that Belinelli will be more of an asset than Neal was in the long run, and I've learned over the years to trust my inner hunches.

[SpursDynasty21]

The Spurs had the cap space to make some nice moves, and they didn't. I like the Belinelli signing, and I think Pendergraph will be a solid player. I do not like the Splitter signing. In my opinion, the Spurs overpaid him.

So You gonna find yourself very stupid, Beli is a scrub...

It was either overpay Splitter or let him walk though for nothing! That would have been bad.

Neal is not exactly that great. He plays horrible D, is very limited on O and his shot selection at times is horrible. Nobody was knocking the doors down to come get him. He could light it up if he got hot and was a volume shooter, that was his ceiling.

You could have let splitter go and play Pendergraph instead, you wouldn't feel much different there... Neal is not that horrible on D, he is "so so", and for his bench role he is perfect, he is giving you what you need and heart, Beli may able to do more stuf with the ball, but not stuf useful for us and not at all in effective way, Neal is better player cause he is more solid.

We shall see, bet I'm right though.

Let Splitter Go and play Pendegraph? Huh? Pendy was at the end of the bench alot of times, Splitter a starter on a very good team. Neal is that horrible on D, a few plays in the finals emphasized that. I would hardly call him so-so on D, are you serious? Beli can do more with the ball, you said enough there for me to want him on the team over Neal who was just a spot up shooter who POP thought could run the PG, big mistake. He has not played a single game yet and you deem Beli not useful for us and not in an effective way? On what basis?

Neal being more solid to me, what points did you put up that made him more solid? Nobody was really knocking down the door to sign him as I said, thats why he ended up in Milwaukee. I would love to see you make points then just heresay or hindsight and actually see how Beli plays here first. I still don't see how Neal is more solid either, he is very one dimensional and a volume shooter like I said.

I think most people underestimate team chemistry and familiarity. Teams like the warriors, clippers, rockets, and nets got better on paper. I think most would still consider Okc and sa the top 2 teams in the west while standing pat.

Maybe so, but especially San Antonio's age factor may loom large with staying lucky enough to avoid injury.

Very very true.
