3 polarizing things the Spurs' offseason moves should tell fans

The San Antonio Spurs are pretty much done making moves this offseason. Last season was the second 22-60 season in a row—not what the front office and coaching staff expected. It was clear that the plan going into the summer was to improve the roster but do it intelligently. There are still talented young players here who have the potential to be high-level contributors in the NBA, and this organization isn't one to give up on their projections too early.

That ideal can sometimes be described as stubbornness, a potentially fatal flaw for any franchise, but you can't lob that accusation at San Antonio. There is nothing wrong with exhausting all options before moving on from players. It's called being thorough, and when you're a small market team, you don't have the luxury of just moving off of guys, hoping someone else will want to join the squad.

This is just one reason why resigning Sandro Mamukelashvili and Charles Bassey was a good move, but that's already been covered. Unless a deal comes along that Brian Wright is unable to say no to, the Spurs will enter the season as currently constructed, and that should tell you something.

3. Dominick Barlow is not coming back

This one is a little sad. Barlow brought such great energy off the bench. It felt like there was a noticeable pop to the vibe when he stepped on the court. His leap from freshman to sophomore was notable and many fans hoped he would continue to develop into a rotational player.

A young man unafraid to challenge Giannis Antetokounmpo at the rim is a man worth taking an interest in. Unfortunately, the Spurs must feel that it's in the best interest of the team to move on, as there are no roster spots left. Best of luck to Barlow.
