Offseason Thoughts
I don't care what 'leaks' said after the fact, Primo was a big reach. Don't love that pick at all.
Overpaid McDermott... I wasn't even sure he'd even get the full MLE unless it was from a bad team. Did well to squeeze a second and a half out of Indy to make it a S&T.
Then overpaid Collins. I know there are non-guarantees but the second year still has a significant chunk of his salary guaranteed. Just don't really think it's likely he exceeds this deal, but very likely he doesn't live up to it.
Forbes signing was a good fringe move though.
DeRozen deal was excellent for them, getting the first and Thad in a S&T was great for them.
Grade
C. DeRozen S&T kept it neutral when I didn't like almost everything else.
2022 Prediction
Bottom four in the West

Offseason Thoughts
Josh Primo felt like a reach but showed that he could be worth it in Summer League. Wieskamp is a good second round flyer as a top-level shooter. While at face value it's a little rich, I like the Zach Collins deal (especially with how little of the 2nd and 3rd years are guaranteed). I'm a little confused by the direction of this team though. They seem like they're set on being a fringe playoff team. Thad Young and Doug McDermott were good acquisitions and could lend themselves as very good trade assets should the Spurs struggle during the season and finally pull the plug.
Grade
C-
They reached in the draft and committed to the middle ground. Like a few other teams a Ben Simmons trade could really change a lot of things for them though.
2022 Prediction
8-12 Could see them as a playoff team because you know, never doubt the Spurs, but could also see them missing the play-in games.

Offseason Thoughts
If this were most franchises I would have far less faith in them but most of this offseason felt a bit directionless, though there wasn't anything truly egregious to me in the end.
The draft was weird, Primo was a guy who seemed a fine pre-draft prospect if a team was interested in him possibly. The problem is that taking him at 12 basically entirely removes the idea of a pre-draft because any surplus value you'd get is nullified by the larger salary slot and using a high pick. Pre-drafting is supposed to be to steal a guy later in the draft when he'd be gone sooner in a later year, which isn't what happened here. Just an odd one.
On to free agency I didn't really have an issue with McDermott's contract in a vacuum (ie to a team that needed him or a contender), the issue is that the Spurs aren't that and don't need vets like this. Just a weird one but again I'm in the minority who didn't even think the contract was that bad, just a weird fit (and looking back it's still got a very minimal chance of surplus value). The Collins deal ended up being far less than reported so still isn't awful as much as was first reported but I don't see it returning any real value at this point either. These felt like deals that were a bit unnecessary and to some extent overpays with questionable fits.
And after all this, they still salvaged it to some extent because I have no clue how they got that return for a free agent. The Derozan trade was a fantastic deal for them.
Grade
C- and this is pretty much all the Derozan trade or it would be worse
2022 Prediction
11-14th in the West, not bottom 2 but wouldn't count on them to make the play in either
