If we want to have any semblance of an offense this year, White is going to have to be a big part of it. Let Patty shoot threes and be a 12 minute bench spark, let DJM defend and pick his spots, and let an actual point guard run the show.
I don't think his agent had much of an argument to push the Spurs over $75 million ... so landing at $73 million is pretty impressive, tbh.

Pretty funny that Pop went out of his way to give Bryn all those minutes to get him paid and the best he got was 5 mil from the Bucks lol
Players who earn just a little bit more than Derrick White (keep in mind, these guys will be up for extensions soon)
Zach LaVine
Myles Turner
Aaron Gordon
Jerami Grant
Danilo Gallinari
Julius Randle
Gary Harris
Victor Oladipo
Malcolm Brogdon
Harrison Barnes
Fred Vanvleet ($21,250,000 per year)
Exactly.
Not sure. I'm following this website:
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/contracts/
Honestly, if we get 2018/bubble Derrick White for 25 mins a game this contract will be a steal.
I’m good with this. Probably my favorite player on our team right now.
Yeah I like White but he had not had a healthy year since he has played in this league so if we cool with him missing 10 - 20 games every season then so be it. If he stays healthy then the deal is a steal if he keeps on getting hurt well that means we going to have to waste a first on another PG so be it.
It'll be interesting to see if there are any options or incentives. For the Spurs' sake, I'm hoping no fourth-year player option and incentives that will protect them if White's body doesn't hold on.
I'd take White over all these guys, except maybe Bogdanovic and Gordon (though he's getting old).
Yeah, it's definitely counting current contracts, since OG's would kick in next season if I'm not mistaken. Same as White's, he'd still be under his "old" contract this season.
So happy for Derrick. Cut bait on these garbage veterans, get a competent head coach, and hope one of their upcoming lottery picks hits and the Spurs could have a chance of being good by 2024
His injury concerns will always be lingering but it's worth the risk. The team has a much higher ceiling when White is healthy and playing. Great news.
Honestly, people shouldn't be complaining about the amount anymore. Players these days get paid much more. If Mills is worth 50 million, White is much more than that.
So who we going for next summer with $50 million in cap? John Collins?
It has become increasingly shocking when there is good news here. Congrats to DW!!!
He is the catalyst for this team. I believe that Vassell, Murray, KJ and LA will play their best with DW on the floor with them.
Excited to see this team gel and relieved that we locked him up!
Also, White is 26 years old. A four year deal probably gets him through his best years. Not that a player can't be productive after 30, but certainly that's when the downward slide starts. So the Spurs lock him up for probably his best years.
Imagine how much Timmy would make today considering what Gobert just got.
If he hits RFA after this season he easily gets an offer sheet in the range of 20+ million annually
It's a great deal. I like the message it sends to the other young players as well, they can expect some continuity amongst all the other turnover on the roster and eventually coaching staff.
Maybe Pop will actually play him more than 30mpg now. Expect a lot of "that's what he gets paid to do" answers from Pop to the media this year
Always knew he had to get substantially more than Murray. Never bought his being 2+ years older or the pandemic affecting revenue short term as reasons for his not.
Good contract and if he can stay relatively healthy, could end up closer to a bargain as salaries continue to climb.
Absolute steal for locking up OG long-term. Quite the "lucky" contract, am I right?
So now they get credit him his representation/him being foolish and acceping lower than what they should have?

Hopefully no one. There isn't a player worth it that'd come here. Focus on the youth and resigning the ones that are worth it. If anything they should use their cap space to take on bad contracts in exchange for draft capital.
Great news.
Now let's stop playing these vets that have no future with the team
You don't want autistic Nephew coming back, bruh?
