There's a chance, and had Murray been healthy, I definitely agree that would be the plan. But his injury combined with Noel's failings makes me think they'd be interested in an extension. For their part, I think PATFO would need DJM to give back quite a bit of money from a max to make something happen, because they just don't have the incentive to lock him into anything more. It's not clear DeJounte is even going to be the best PG on his team given his injury. Don't see them maxing him out unless he comes in and has an All-Star caliber 2019-2020.
This is why I don't think Murray will always be a Spur. He'll be expensive, but he also wants to go to a bigger market. He's LeBron's boy. To his credit, he's doing and saying the right things and is learning the game. But I think before long the team will need to move him along.
A players representation doesn’t always have their best interests at heart. See: Impact Sports. I think the Spurs will offer less than the max, I think Klutch will recommend that he bets on himself, rather than locking into a less lucrative deal, and the whole thing likely rolls into the summer of 2020, when Klutch can go field other offers.
They may field offers from other teams if he turns down his extension this summer. I see the reasons he may leave as financial, not necessarily market sized. I think he likes it here, and would stay if a financial agreement could be reached.
Tristan Thompson also had his good friend, LeBron James, let management know they needed to sign Thompson to that deal. Klutch doesn’t have that same leverage with the Spurs.
might he be cleared to play by the time summer league rolls around?
Trade Instagram Baller. Derrick White is the future.
I doubt the Spurs want him to be summer ballin’ with inexperienced scrubs.
why does it have to be one or the other? trade this talented young player because i like this other talented young player more!
white has been awesome this year, but our defense has still struggled because the other guard spot has been a trainwreck defensively between bryn, patty, marco, derozan (when he slides down to 2). murray/white can coexist in the same backcourt imo, or at the very least you can stagger then so at all times we at least have 1 guard on the floor with a defensive presence.
i do think they will end up starting together. davis has been good enough this year, and probably replaces gay as the starting 4 next year. the increased spacing that creates could be enough to compensate for murray joining the lineup
Yeah I was all for trading Dejounte last summer but makes no sense to trade him now. I'm not opposed to trading him for the right price but his value is probably pretty low. Coming off a major injury and DWhite's emergence actually lowers his value to the point where you just keep both.
I think they'll have no issue playing together, especially if Murray has any semblance of an outside jumper next year. Though things do get dicey when you throw Derozan into the mix.
He’s rehabbing on the beach. He’s thirty for that big contract.

lol overpaying a scrub who cant score, let alone no lock down defense, his all nba defense selection was horse anyway
white is the future of this team...
You saying White is the future is equally laughable
I like the possibilities of a White/Murray backcourt.
Defensively it's a yeah!
Offensively, Murray has to knock down some 3s.
Murray/White/DeRozan/Gay/Aldridge is a decent starting 5 on both sides of the ball. It gives us 3 players who can initiate the offense.
Next season can't come to soon for me.
Murray doesn't have to go. Derozan does.
Admittedly somewhat stupid take: Can we trust a dude who dates an Instagram THOT...err Influencer...and breaks up with her every other week? Doesn't sound like he's got the best decision making off the court. And he wasn't exactly great at running the team and getting everyone in the right spots on the court. You can't win in the league now with a PG who can't shoot. Trade him first chance you can.
Jilly is not the problem, Jilly is the asset.
It isn't "somewhat" stupid that take is just plain dumb. Who gives a what DeJounte does in his personal life as long as he continues to work hard, train and improves into a quality starting PG.
Truth nuke.
White is clearly the future, but why trade Murray?
Just sucks that we wasted our pick on that ing idiot Walker. Nothing in-between the ears and doesn't look like he has a feel for the game at this level.
This is why said LA. He knows they’re going to be coming after DJM.
The guy is like 20 years old and has only gotten meaningful minutes against the defending champions that have one of the most talented teams in the history of the game. Give him a chance to prove he ain’t .
