nice to see getting rid of all the trash. Hope Poeltl and Walker are next.

Sad to see Derrick White go, but it's the type of a trade rebuilding teams do.
He's a perfect fit in Boston, he'll do well there.
Damn… I loved D White, but… he’s performed well below expectations and is too old to be a part of the rebuild. Turning him into a first round pick is the right move. His value might never be as high as it is right now.
I like White and think he will be in the league for several more years but I'm not sure if he will ever make the leap necessary to be a star player. He could blossom in Boston since he will be their primary PG but I'm not sure if him and Murray going forward could co-exist long-term playing together.
That’s the good consequence indeed, go for it Primo !
Well given that White is 28 and duplicative of Murray and White has been paid, and the Spurs need money for their other young players, I think the trade makes sense, especially for the draft pick. But sad to see White go. He was a great draft pick by the Spurs, a total late round steal and he got them a whole lot in return.
He hasn’t been injured this season.
Damn. First round pick this year, potential first round swap in 2028, semi interesting prospect in Langford and a positive asset in Richardson? Yeah, I really liked White but a rebuilding team can't say no to that deal. If White were 24, I might hesitate. But closing in on 28? Gotta do it.
I am really saddened to see White go. He was still the best two player we had but his health and inconsistency got in the way of his going the DJM way. The Spurs better get a good player in next year's draft. Or this move will be among the worst that Wright made for a long time.
Boston is going to love Derrick tbh. I'm going to miss him but I like the trade.
Should've got more, hopefully the Celtics implode and the pick is good.
But at least Primo and Devin get more minutes.
I like this. I didn't like white
Great move for Boston. White will add a lot of play making on both ends while taking a lot of ball handling pressure of their two stars. Spurs should have tried for 2FRPs though. They're clearly embarrassing the tank. Poetl has to be next.
Now I can be honest:
His go-to move being taking a charge was embarrassing. That is barely a basketball play.
1.) Draft assets (a first plus a pick swap)
2.) Cap space in summer
3.) Richardson can be swapped for another asset, though can’t be aggregated
4.) Lotto ticket on Langford
5.) Improve Spurs own pick
6.) Open up playing time for Primo and Vassell
White is nice but doesn’t fit this team’s window

That's a critical piece of value, since it adds potential upside. I still don't like the deal, but I like it more now.
to white winning the chip in beantown
That's a good deal. Wright is doing work.
3 years of nothing and going crazy today. Weird.
Fixes logjam maybe 2 good picks and ton of space cleared.
The Spurs must really love some guys in the 2022 draft.
Pretty much this. Good luck in Boston, White.
