I'll probably watch some games of his to see what he's doing elsewhere. I think he's definitely a roleplayer that needs to play with scoring talent and while considering the short span of NBA careers, he needs to look out for his own pay day first, I think he's going to want to play with some superstar somewhere. Considering the contract he will likely command is around an amount that is affordable for many teams, he could play in many places so it might come down to his predilection and a good environment for him. At least that is what I hope. I don't think he will look for a situation like Jsimms where he's going to stadpad in a poor team since that is so obviously not his game. I always said he needed to work on that 3 and it showed, and when he needed it he got exposed. I'd say keep working on it, if you want to last...
Anyways, that is as far as it goes with him.
As for me, contrary to appearances my interest in the team is not tied to him. He was the only young player in this team for a couple of seasons in 2014-15 and 2015-16. I watched several of his games in the dleague with Jon Simms and thus knew him quite well and for a couple of years there was no other young player to look forward to... At the same time he was very much hated so I kind of grew overprotective ... it was also the beginning of my posting here since the registration for the site was closed for years... my predilection is certainly there, why deny it, but it has been overblown in the sense that he's not the only guy I care to watch the Spurs for.
My interest to the Spurs right now is more closely tied to what they do this summer.
I really don't want a watch a season of the Paddy Mills/Murray backcourt duo again tbh. I liked Murray's development through the season and it's obvious that Pop likes him... but this team was very unlikeable as it was without Kawhi, and although much criticism fell on Kyle as he took a bulk of Kiwi's minutes, even in games he missed when injured or when he got benched in the playoffs, this team was still a very unlikeable team. I know you are aware of what I mean.
HOpefully White is a bright spot to look forward to next season and perhaps there is some tweaking of the roster... or something. Perhaps Murray will be much better next season, perhaps Kiwi will be healthy or Spurs revamp this roster with a package of players/picks. Hopefully they make this more interesting to watch.
