My first impression is the Spurs are ac ulating first round picks to move up in the draft. The Celtic players probably don't even matter.
This is a great deal, and fixes the guard over load. I am surprised we got this much. There are teams that were talking about sending a first round pick for Richardson.

His other main move was going from active roster to the injury reserve. I like the person, but it was time to move on. We’re actually wasting his career letting him float around here.
Good for Derrick tbh, always liked that massive forehead.
I know I do! I've got several pets in that class, and I dislike quite a few of the guys projected at the top except for Holmgren.
Good dude, but I honestly feel like he peaked 2 years ago. Every time you think he was turning the corner again he would get hurt, or his play suffered and just wasnt up to par. This year his aggressiveness totally dissapeared. He was passing up open shot after open shot. I like the move stocking picks....
This or the Spurs have done deep work on mid to late first round players this year and have fallen in love with one or more of them.
Richardson was basically salary ballast, and might be flipped to a good team for other ballast and a 2nd or something. Langford is only 22 and has barely-okay advanced stats this year, but his stats from his first two years were pretty bad. Maybe the Spurs can polish him up, maybe not.
I much rather would've traded White for an upgrade in the front court, but he had to be traded at some point. The deal ain't that bad. Spurs clear cap space, get a prospect, a first, a pick swap. Josh Richardson is basically 85% of Derrick White at the same age. It's not a huge downgrade.
I mean I don't think it's horrible but this is my least favorite deal of the day. Spurs needed to move some at that position and it made sense for it to be white but ngl I wish this was better.
So currently the Spurs are on track to have picks 6, 18 and 20 in this draft? Woah. Hopefully the Lakers crash and burn to give the Spurs another pick in the 30s
Best case scenario the Spurs get lucky with lottery balls and move up into the top 4, the Celtics stumble and miss the playoffs so that the Spurs get another lottery pick and the Raptors just barely make the playoffs and give the Spurs a pick in the teens. Damn, Wright swinging for the fences.
If there are no protections on that 2028 pick swap (unlikely), that'd be one of a piece going forward. Unprotected first rounders are unheard of these days.
Great trade overall. Gonna hurt in the immediate but I love that the front office isn’t settling with mediocrity. I’m coming to terms with the Young trade that’s better than it first looked. More minutes now for Primo maybe? Or Tre?
Should help this season's tank as well. We push out the old man in the offseason and the Spurs future looking a bit brighter again tbh.
I don't think it's enough, Boston was desperate for someone to act like a lead guard and they just have to give up a likely pick in the 20s in a crappy draft and a future swap that might never execute?
And White is locked in on a reasonable contract ...
Great work by Brad Stevens.
I am not a fan of this deal at all.

I love Derrick but his lack of 3pt shooting accuracy is not a good fit next to DJM, this is a solid return, and we needed to trade him while the value was high (he hasn't been injured for a little while.)
Unless we're re-gifting Richardson or one of the other players we just acquired I would expect that we are done for this trading deadline.

Time for Vassell to take on some load.
And a pick swap in 2028.
As a knee jerk reaction, I give this trade a B-. It makes sense, but White's skill set is extremely useful.
They need to trade up to the top 3 with their extra FRPs tbh.
im still not sure if the brass sees vassell as a backcourt player or a forward
If Smart, White, Brown, Tatum, and Williams lll are all healthy, they could actually be dangerous in the playoffs.
I like White as a dude and player, but this is a good trade. Hope he does well with the Celtics, who are my favorite team in the east.
sad to say goodbye to the best white player on our team, but for that haul you gotta do it
The potential Boston-Toronto play in game would be super interesting from the Spurs perspective.
