Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)

[tbdog]

Was amazing to see. Just amazing. History stuff.

Derrick will be a Celtic lifer after that. Whattaway to save the season.

If he wants it and the Celtics are a good organization to be associated with as a part of the pantheon even a role. I don't think that he is solidly there unless the Cs get 5 more Ws this year but if they do..... Especially if he shows out in any then yes he gets that status. This is going to be interesting for jaylen Brown and his contract, it's pretty well established with everyone Celtics and media that Tatum is number one and everyone knows Brown is number two. He's going to not be happy with that, and Tatum won't be thrilled if Brown gets money to the extent that the roster is being held back, Tatum can't get his. I think Brown gets a big money extension, and a new deal, but I also think that during that extension the Celtics move Brown for New pieces.

Celtics blogger once said trade was a disaster

That didn’t age well.

[vander]

man, I really hate that Derrick White did that. I loved him as a Spur, and I was happy that he was having some success with Boston, but read the ing room dude.
what a horrible thing to do to basketball fans.

[Dejounte]

Good players making good plays. Why is anyone surprised? If/when we trade off players like Keldon or Vassell, those guys will be doing the same thing too. Top tier players like Tatum, Brown (soon Wemby) relieve great role players like White from doing the heavy lifting to allow them to do special things like this.

I will say the same thing I’ve said a thousand times: a team only needs to be top 2 or 3 heavy (with no ego on each and a proper system in place) to be successful. Everything else falls in place easily.

That was a legit (and very stupid) foul though. I wish refs would do less context judging and call rules as they are all the time.

Derrick White saved Horford's life.

What foul are you referring to?

Unbelievable win from the Celtics. Love seeing Miami fans at home feeling what Spurs fans felt. Manu was also fouled at the end of that game and Ray Allen may have also travelled. I feel bad for Jimmy Butler, but I don't feel the least bit bad for any Miami fans.

[JPB]

Spoelstra should have left Duncan on the floor for the rebound tbh.

[GAustex]

I see what you did there

[superbigtime]

Good for D White. Happy for him.

[Dverde]

Only would have been better if he went over to Spo and said Coach Pop sends his regards. I didn’t come up with that, saw it posted somewhere

Time is a flat circle, eat it Miami

[R. DeMurre]

I'm happy for Derrick. He was my favorite Spur during the down years, and I'm glad he's thriving on a playoff team. The goal now is for the Spurs to try and find a few more Derrick White types to surround Wembanyama in the the next few years.

Yeah as much as I dislike Boston, Miami isn’t getting any sympathy from me here…still wasn’t bad as what happened to us.

[Seventyniner]

Still okay with the Spurs making that trade (though White would be PERFECT for this team with Wemby coming in) - my comment about Boston robbing us is more from the Celtics perspective.

And in many ways, I hope the Celtics getting DWhite for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, a late FRP and a swap provides some illustration at what we might be able to do when this team starts competing to add high end role players to the team.

Happy for Derrick.

Hopefully the Spurs will soon be in a position to make a deal like that from the other side.

[wildbill2u]

Love that Derrick has a chance for a ring. He already has established legendary status in Boston with that play and will never have to buy another drink anywhere in Beantown.

[Ariel]

I was rooting for a Miami win but ended up jumping out of my seat when Derrick scored that game winner. So happy for him.

The trade was fair, it was part of a chain of moves that got us Wemby. Leave it be lads.

Yeah, same here. I don't particularly like either team, but preferred Miami and was rooting for Derrick at the same time. So if Boston won, that was the perfect way to do so as far as I'm concerned. It was probably the most painful move of them all, but it had to be done, otherwise we'd still be stuck. Also I wouldn't be shocked if Derrick returns to the Spurs after his deal with Boston expires.

[Obstructed_View]

They put time on the clock after the Jimmy Butler foul didn't they? Seemed like a useless challenge by Boston, but it literally saved their season.

Ah. I'd quoted the wrong post. Someone said they were glad Miami didn't win on free throws and I was saying that would have been totally legit.

[DAF86]

Was that the clutchest bucket in NBA history?

[kobyz]

The shot that form a dynasty, feel like Celtics are gonna roll with that miracle for a 3peat...

[talkspurs]

Is Boston going to be the first team to come back from 0-3?

[rascal]

Doubt he comes back. He's settled in Boston and they like him there.

Nah, Tatum and Brown aren't that.
