White, Jak, and Thad, even Walker. I’m hoping they could be part of a bigger move, but that’s inherently more challenging.
White for Bogdanovic seems a fair deal.
White would also be a good fit on the Celtics, Cavs and Jazz.

NBA radio today they were saying Randle might be shipped out. Derrick and Lonnie match up with his salary. Thibs would love Derrick. Primo comes up to the big boy club for the rest of the season.
Fk no. I don’t even care for White and they can have Walker for free but we could do better.
I think Dwhites never getting traded imo, he now embodies Spurs culture. He’ll be the new and improved Patty mills for the spurs
Holy fk. Spurs talk needs to stop comparing current players to past Spurs greats. The only thing D White embodies of Spurs past is Kyle Anderson. White is a 30% 3pt shooter with 0 leadership skills. He isn’t Patty, he isn’t the reincarnation of Ginobilli off the bench and him and Anderson are equals at this point. He is Derrick White; an above average defender who can’t shoot.
Ginobilli isn’t going to magically reincarnate himself into Walker, White or anyone else on this roster no matter what le PATFO gives him.
I think meant White is the new Patty in terms of being the guy that embodies "Spurs culture" or whatever...![]()
What about Spurs culture does he embody? He has never won a playoff series, never stepped up to the plate to make big shots, never once been praised for his locker room presence, seldom steps up when his teammates are out. Just because he appears to be a nice guy and was a late draft pic does not make White accoladed; he has not earned that.
Clearly has to do with his contributions off the court and not anything related to their similarities as players. Kinda obvious tbh. Not sure why you're so hostile over Degoats comment![]()
I like Randle. He was a 24/10/6 last year and .411 at 3pt??? Anyway, he’s a gritty player who loves contacts. Collins play more above the rims but needed to get setup, while Randle is your prototypical postup PF. Collins is much younger at 23 vs 27, and more up to the Spurs running game. The only thing with Collins is his lack of postup and facilitate-from-the-post moves, but could be in his future. What’s attractive with Collins is he’s so young, but lacking a lot of fundamental skills besides dunking the ball and hitting the 3’s.
What does he do off the court? H-E-B commercials? Community appearances? That’s an absolute necessity when you play for the Spurs. There is nothing special about him off the court other than that he is a nice, regular guy.
Derricks trash to you? He’s a solid do it all sixth man.
I think “Spurs Culture” meaning unselfish (to the fault though of becoming Beta), of sacrificing his body taking those charges. Personally I like White, but he is very inconsistent to me. If other teams value his locker room culture and defense, and willing to give us Collins or Randle? Heck Zi’d grab that, especially since it would clear a spot for Primo to be finally in the SL (granted he’s still very raw but has shown great strides). Heck Kobe missed like 4(?) lSt minute 3 pointers in a pivotal game as a rookie. Getting back, I’d move on from White for a bigger fish, but unlikely a PATFO move.
I don't understand why people think Derrick White is a 6th man. The last time he was a 6th man he averaged 11 points per game. A 6th man is a scorer. That's not who White is.
Dude who hurt you? Lol he’s represents everything the spurs value, good teammate, Culture guy, gives back to the community, plays hard. I’m not saying he’s perfect but he’s important to the team
He is is very replaceable. Former Spurs legends earned their legacy. White has not. Maybe if the Spurs relaxed all of the culture bull we wouldn’t be where we are currently.
Your words not mine.
?? What?? Every team goes through this; the key is to limit the amount of time we stay here.
After that loss tonight I’m fine trading everybody but DJ and Primo, fck the rest lol
Spurs need to be fielding calls on White. Shouldn't give him away but if they can get a good young power forward or center they need to make that move. If the Hawks tell the spurs a Collins trade starts with White then the spurs need to make that deal happen. He doesn't stand out as doing anything great anymore. He doesn't impact winning. Is Derrick White even as good as Jordan Poole? It doesn't seem like it. Poole made a ton of plays tonight and White did what he typical does. Makes one 3 in the 3rd...takes a charge...and inbetween does a bunch of nothing.
Again I wouldn't give him away but he just doesn't impact winning anymore and guys who don't do that you should upgrade from them if you can. It's funny cause out of all the current Spurs he is the only one who has played well in some playoff games so he should really be the leader of the pack and not DJ. Dejounte has lapped him so much as a player that you would never know they were both drafted with the 29th pick
White looks bad right now but he’s still best suited as our sixth man. He has value because his bbiq is high but he is all over the place now.
I don't get why people are focusing on White. He put up 16/7/3 tonight and shot 6 for 10 from the field and 4 for 7 from three.
As I see it, here's the problem: the Spurs shot a better FG% and a better 3 pt% than the Warriors and still lost because the Warriors put up 13 more shots. The Spurs' two starting guards combined for 12 rebounds while their two starting forwards combined for 4. If McDermott & KJ combine for 10 total rebounds, the Spurs win this game. That's not a big ask.
I think Spurs didn’t have anybody taller than 6’7” at the stretch, despite getting outrebounded again and again. Terrible adjustment by Pop. I think this game was meant to be a loss but Kerr made it interesting pulling all his starters
Collins suck. Definitely not worth the money he’s making
Yep. Should’ve taken Haliburton and kept Samanic. This team would be significantly better at this point.
