The guy had been fighting the underdog mentality his whole life. He's living a dream and was gazing up at all the talent around him. This year, FINALLY, dude shot the ball with confidence. One of the quickest and highest arcs in the game. Just beautiful.
D-White is definitely more plug and play for most line ups. Dejounte is the better primary on-ball point guard. Love all the intangibles of Derrick over Dejounte for sure too.If you have a good eye, it doesn't take much to spot a special player, tbh.
Congrats to D-White, he was a beast out there. I still firmly believe White > Murray, tbh.
One of my favorite recent Spurs. Sad that he got traded, but understood given the cir stances and direction of the team. Glad they sent him to a place he could win, which i hope strengthens the message that the Spurs will do their best to do right by their players if it’s time for them to move on.
With their salary crunch White could slip away at some point and go elsewhere. Not sure when his current salary ends but a lot of mouths to feed up there and Jaylen Brown has an insane contract.
I love White but some people here can’t be happy for White without bashing DJ. They were teammates. They were never rivals. It’s quite pathetic. You won’t hear about Derrick if this was the other way around.
in the Murray thread, you have your Derrick stans repeatedly saying they’d rather have Derrick.
In Derrick threads like this one, you’ll barely find Murray stans saying they’d rather have Murray. And even if there were, that’s childish too. I’ve only done that to annoy the Derrick stans with their stupid behavior.

Your posts could be pointed at others I'm sure but for me, Murray trade talks plus White entering expiring contract, to me, makes it enticing to bring one of them back possibly. Both play PG, both used to be Spurs, and both would help the Spurs. Would love to have one or both back, unless of course Murray still has beef with FO.
I get it cause you like Murray, i wouldn’t even be opposed to bringing him back. But I still thought his exit here was childish. And now he’s back to “I love the spurs” cause they have a generational talent in Wemby so that’s why I still throw shade at Murray. Either way, it’s not that serious to me.
Very happy for Derrick.
While the trade to Boston made a lot of sense when it happened, it will continue to evolve to look like a huge heist on Boston's part. Just a reminder of the kind of quality you can get for FRPs. Looking forward to 2028 when we swap our #30 pick with Boston's #29 pick
Alright D White!
Weird, because players never improve their shot in the pros. However they shot their freshman year in college is all they are and all they ever will be. So you’re right, it must be the rims.
Very happy for D White!
I could tell he was a special player the first year with Derozan, Murray got hurt preseason I believe but White filling in made the team better.
So close to beating the nuggets in first round that year. A lot of that was because of white.
Very happy for him. Now that he has his ring, and considering his love for SA, I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes back by the end of his career to mentor young players here.
That DJ/DW back court really could have been something if they had a true number one but those moves had to be made from our perspective. White has an opportunity to be part of a new dynasty if all those guys stay humble. The White vs DJ conversation is a ST bootleg TP vs Manu debate though.
Wasn't Derrick's dad a huge Boston fan? I vaguely recall someone saying that his dad was happy he was traded to the Celtics as that was his dad's favourite team?
Edit: Just clicked on the link, and yeah, Derrick's dad is a Celtics and Redsox fan.
they had Manu vs. Parker threads for years around here. Soon there will be another made up rivalry to keep the tradition going.
So Derrick White after being traded from Spurs is collecting a lot of W - NBA Champs, fat extension and now he is going to Olympics
drafted too old, got hurt too much, missed too many 3's, not a good long term spur...what do we know...
Will always root for this dude. You have to be broken to hate on DW.
Nice, congrats DWhite!
Every team in the NBA would or at least should be happy to have this guy. What a great player to be rooting for!
He’s in line to win an NBA championship and Olympic Gold in the same summer, thats awesome.
So happy for DW got out of the SA show
