The Spurs’ offseason was largely uneventful, as the only new additions to the main roster have been rookies Devin Vassell and Tre Jones. San Antonio also re-signed Jakob Poeltl and Drew Eubanks and guaranteed Trey Lyles’ contract to retain its big man depth, but it didn’t do much else.
In that context, the departures take on a bigger dimension. Chimezie Metu played too little to be considered a big loss, but Marco Belinelli and especially Bryn Forbes had sizable roles that will have to be filled by others. Whether those getting their minutes represent a big upgrade or not could determine the Spurs’ ceiling.
