San Antonio Spurs: Umm…..

The Spurs have been actively rebuilding for a while and, although they’ve taken on some bad contracts in trades, it was always intentional to acquire other assets and it’s hard to find a bad contract that they’ve actually negotiated in recent history.

Over the past four years, the only non-rookie contracts they’ve signed with an average annual value of over $7 million were Zach Collins (three years, $22 million), Tre Jones (two years, $10 million), Cedi Osman (four years, $31 million), Rudy Gay (two years, $32 million) and Keldon Johnson (four years, $73 million).

All of those deals worked out great for San Antonio or current deals that seem like great values moving forward. I don’t like breaking the rules of my own self-created though exercise but I just have to give the Spurs a mulligan on seeking a mulligan.
