How I See Derrick White's Contract Extension Negotiations Playing Out

Pop with motivation to not play Derrick White big minutes = a long, long season

Should this happen I'm not sure I can watch much Spurs basketball this year.

We looked lost the entire season until Pop finally was forced to play White as a starter in the bubble. Suddenly we had some offensive rhythm, when we hadn't all year prior to then.

Back when Tony Parker was playing there was always a huge drop-off in how the offense was flowing when he wasn't on the court. Now we have that with White. But really, only with White when he gets starter minutes. He kind of sucks as a bench player. His confidence and play-making fall off a cliff for some reason.

Is White still hurt? I read something about his toe was dislocated and was the same toe he hurt previous.

OG got 72!

How does Anunoby get less money than Isaac?

[Robz4000]

Yeah, they'd be dumb not to.

A giant payday can dry many a tear.

I can't see it tbh. It wouldn't be "doing right" by White.

There goes the OG getting his deal

It's amazing that timvp doesn't realize that all Derrick needs to do is give a sob story to the old man

[smush]

Good question. That’s ridiculous. Guess he got player option.

He'll be retired by then, tbh.

[Mugen]

He'll be retired by then, tbh.

He ain't going anywhere tbh. He's going to be torpedoing this franchise for at least a few more years.

[Mugen]

Absolutely amazing how ing stupid this franchise is tbh. Just beyond words.

[Robz4000]

with Antetokounmpo off the table next offseason and all the teams with capspace someone is gonna throw big time money at White, in some cases just to spite the Spurs. Crazy what this front office has devolved into.

Raptors luck strikes again.

Meanwhile, as usual we're left to wait and hope these fools do the obvious thing.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Safe to assume he ain’t signing

Just when you think they couldn't get any tier, Robz. What a joke of a front office.

As Culb would say, we haven't even hit rock bottom yet.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

1 minute. Better sign quick!

[timvp]

Front office officially scared stiff, tbh. Even re-signing Jakob Poeltl was a move done to save face. The braver thing to do would have let him walk and trust that you can go find another backup center off the scrap heap.

[gambit1990]

i think this is showing the commitment to him. if they can't agree then they'll be happy to pay him next summer. the spurs know they aren't landing big fish.

So it's past time already and unless they're slow in submitting the forms ...

I mean....it's possible the deal was done on time but just not reported yet right?

....right?
