White signed his second Spurs contract and never could get in a consistent grove again. Constant foot issues.
He got healthy again and is a really good player again. Too bad for the Spurs.

Depends on the current streak of win vs losses....
Congrats to our boy! From having to start alongside Bryn Forbes to starting alongside Jrue Holiday and winning his first championship. Happy for him.
We already knew even during the DeRozan years that White was the best player on the team. In hindsight, we should’ve asked for more when we dealt him.
Also, we drafted White as a 23-year old rookie when many mocks tabbed him for the second round. Just something to think about in the lead up to this draft.
If you have a good eye, it doesn't take much to spot a special player, tbh.
Congrats to D-White, he was a beast out there. I still firmly believe White > Murray, tbh.
Congrats to NBA Champion Derrick White tbh. Proud of this dude.
Congrats to our boy D-White. Happy for him tbh![]()
A true rags-to-riches story tbh![]()
We gonna draft the next one in Carter. A balding guard shot blocker.
Good for Derrick for overcoming the stuff he had to in San Antonio
From being ignored as a rookie when it was obvious he should play, from being benched in the playoffs after being the only reason they were even there, from not being allowed to play more than 23 minutes a game as Dejiunte's backup, just terribly mishandled.
Happy for Derrick for being allowed to succeed, he deserves it
I don't know about that. Seniors who get drafted high mostly don't work out nowadays. But this is a good draft for upperclassmen (since a lot avoided last year's draft due to its perceived strength) and 35 is not a throwaway pick, even with the prospects the team already has.
I keep thinking about it tbh
I know why younger playes have more value but 21-23yo college players offer more garanties and readier to produce from their rookie season.
If PATFO really wants to accelerate the process it's not absurd to imagine them picking a Dalton Knetch or Devin Carter for that reason
Nobody knows anything about Spurs FO real timeline and strategy which makes the pronostics impossible
happy for Derrick White. not surprised he thrived in Boston. his role was way easier there than in San Antonio. I will say that it's funny how the national media acted like he came out of know where, when he was a quality player for us before getting traded there.
That chipped tooth is going to make him a bigger Boston legend. He already has a Sam Adam’s commercial.
Wait, so our “ ty roleplayers who would never be starters on a good team” CAN be starters on a good team. Yeah, that was said on this board a few years back. Pretty reminiscent of the that’s said today about the current players.
Congrats to Derrick. Improving his 3-point shot made him a key piece on that Boston team
It’s insane how well this translated for Derrick into the NBA. Just an amazing defensive guard and his 3ball came along so well post injury and he just went off in BOS. So happy for Derrick man
Overcoming foot problems helped
Get in here, FkLA. While everyone was like "We don't need White, Murray is better." The former wins a le, while the latter fell into the lottery.![]()
Congrats to Derrick White. NBA Champion. While many people thought he was just a role player - and not much more, it just shows that role players, especially good ones, are an important part of any championship team. When the starters are resting, the role players keep the lead. When a starter is injured, the role player takes his place until he returns. Always ready o be the next man up.
Congrats again to Derrick White - role player & NBA Champ.
So happy for Derrick who found a new home in Boston. I remember when he first found out he was being traded, he felt so rejected since he just got married and was really hoping that San Antonio will be his home for a long time. While Murray was so giddy to leave, conspiring with a new found “ally” to make big lol. Well it couldn’t happen to a better man, for Derrick to be adored and loved by his new fans in Boston, and last night winning a championship. Congratulations Derrick Richard White, NBA Champion.
