    Regardless what side you're on in the Murray vs. White debate, we can all agree that Pop will start Murray as that was his plan last year before he went down. That's just not going to change now that he's on track to be 100% by the pre-season. So where does that leave White? Sure, you can play him at the 2 and DeRozan at the 3 but that's not their natural positions. In that scenario, that also leaves no guard who can reliably defend off the bench. Sure, Keldon Johnson can play the two off the bench and defend but Pop simply won't play him meaningful minutes for quite awhile. And Walker? He has undeniable skills on offense but his defense needs alot of work and he may not quite be ready to be a consistent contributor on both ends yet. What does that mean? It means a lot of Forbes and Mills on the floor together, which is a recipe for disaster. Playing White off the bench should be something Pop has to at least think about for better defensive balance and not leave off the table.

    White=Benched in a Game 7

    Murray starting next season is a lock if he stays healthy.

    White has to start cause he's the only one who can space the floor and run a pick and roll. Murray hasn't shown he can. even in preseason before going down he stunk. It would crush murrays ego though to go to the bench (he thinks he's a star). Which is great, I hope he proves me wrong.

    Why do you think Pop picked Murray to start over him last season before he went down, then?

    My dude you’re a good guy but a really dense person sometimes. Pop went with Murray over White because of his experience. Yet the Spurs did just fine with White starting and basically got the same amount of wins that the Murray led Spurs did the year before.

    I prefer white over Murray but I also preferred Manu over Tony... there’s no shame coming off the bench if it’s for the betterment of the team

    Same amount of wins lol. And you say I'm dense...smh. Murray had to deal with Load Management's bull and no shows while White had the addition of DeMar and they still weren't demonstrably better than last year.

    You’re dense cause you talk out of your ass but keep pretending you don’t. Especially when people rightfully call you out on your bull .

    You're basically calling out yourself but projecting it on to me. And of course, you attack the person instead of the argument. I'm calling you out on your bull .

    Demar is not an addition. He's a cancer. On-Off numbers have always said any team Demar was on was better when he was off the court. His playoff On-Off numbers were horrendous and the worst on the team by far.

    White has a solid season and Padre hates on him all year. So yeah I like to think he’s dense.

    Whether you like it or not, Murray will be starting next season. The issue is, will White too? But you're just content to talk .

    I can see White thriving in that role.

    Both guys can start and you can stagger minutes and have one or the other on floor nearly the entire game. Why are you inventing a controversy that doesn’t exist?
