1) Not really good. By many measurements, Gay or DeRozan were one of the best players on the team last year. ST is extremely toxic to the team's players, but the team losing its best player isn't a good thing, no matter how much this forum hated them.
2) Draft was fine. I agree. I don't think anyone can credibly say it was bad. There's a wait-and-see thing with Primo for sure. But it was fine and could be very good.
3) Not bad, but uncreative. The Spurs needed to blow up their roster -- not just the old parts. This signing is a major investment in the young players, and that's a bad direction to go. Rebuilding or reloading, they have to cull their flock, not just keep trying to force the knot to get tighter.
4) Horrible.
Overall a bad free agency period. I now basically have no faith in the Spurs to figure out their way through their valley they're in. There are more than two "lanes" they could be in, but they are picking a horrible one right now. Just doing the DeRozan trade and taking Favors would've been a far superior strategy, John Collins or no.
Still, there's still time for more trading. They have too many guaranteed contracts right now, and while they should be willing to have dead money if it means keeping the best guys, they shouldn't piss money away for no reason.
