I don't think White plays much for the Spurs this season. Pop will give him a chance at some point but I'm guessing that he will see most of his action in practice.
And nothing. Nice to have him for the future.

IT's irrelevant since I didn't jock him last year, was more than okay with moving him for younger talent...and was in favor of keeping Devin Brown...
THe important thing is that when I did jock him, I was right. le = Right....I know you struggle with just what it means to be right due to lack of experience...but I'm it.
There are no absolutes and eternities in sports...just because a player is the solution one year doesn't mean he is the final solution.
The Barry war was won in 05...period end.
I went to the Toros' draft party last night. Apparently all the players they kept from last year are PF/C types. Judging from the guys they drafted, White would have no problem finding big minutes here in Austin. Something to think about.
Melvin Sanders played in 16 games last year. James White should into some this season. I don't think he'll be on the inactive list every game of the year.
Depends on his progress and on the moves made by the Spurs FO. If he progresses quickly and the Spurs trade Williams or Barry, he'll see some legit time this year.
For now, I'm just happy the Spurs filled the 15th spot with a legit long-term addition. I will expect little to nothing from White and Butler, but will hope for the best.
Wow, just got back from lunch and saw the news. Great day in Spurs history!
Two words: Tony - Manu
Yeah, I was exaggerating, but he'll get Sanders/1st year Jack minutes -- not much more.
Well that's all he's billed as is Bowen's replacement....
FWIW I agree with you but I don't think it's a big deal...
I think there is a tendency by the Silver and Black faithful to pencil him in as the big long SF we've needed for so long and at 6'7 200lbs I don't agree. I don't care how long he is or how high he jumps...that's smaller than Manu.
I don't see him filling that role against LeBron, Artest, TMac and the like, you know, the 250lbers or 7 footers that play the position and give us so much trouble even when Bruce is on them. That's still a need, but it is nice to have a future dunk champion, superb athleticism, and possible Bowen replacement in the fold.
Barry was awesome the 2nd half of last year, how quickly some forget how almost traded Barry lit it up.
This is a great pickup. Anyone who thinks he's gonna make an impact this year is probably way of (I say probably on the off chance he blows up but com'on on). That being said, in a few years he may very well be the starting small forward for this team or at the least an active energy guy off the bench. Energy guys off the bench are sorely underrated in this league, but if you think back to some of our championships where we had a Malik Rose or a Manu Ginobili you can see how they change the game.
Great piece that just fell into our laps.
Eh, Shawn Marion is 6'7". Hopefully White bulks up a bit. He's young and has some upside, so I'm pleased.
He wasn't aswesome against the Mavs...at all.
He did hit that game winner against Sac though...
He's 24...how much you think he's going to bulk up?
I didn't mention Marion because Marion is a guy that someone with Bruce's body type can handle(speficially Bruce)...Marion is a stat filler but he's not a dominant player capable of taking over a game...he's roleplayer to the nth degree...not the type we struggle with.
I'm talking the big 2 guards and long SF types that are playmakers...LeBron, Artest, Bonzi...TMac.
We'll get a reminder of the type tonight...
Brent Barry's performance last season in the playoffs or season is not the reason the Spurs lost in Game 7 in OT to the Dallas Mavericks. It seems like some people here are basing last year's exit from the playoffs is because of Barry. It takes a whole team to win.
A lot of people sucked against Dallas. Its obviosly the reason he didn't play last night. That doesn't mean he doesn't have value to this team, which he does. When you have a backup PG who has a history of not living up to expectations, a guy like Barry is a great thing to have on the bench.
I think he's certainly expendable, but Brent Barry on our bench isn't going to cost us any games but it sure as may win some.
Hey ChumpD, why did you change your team to atlanta man? I live here and dude, it's lame! I do get free tickets from my clients though!
Dunno, but I think some gain in that area could be possible with an NBA conditioning program.He's 24...how much you think he's going to bulk up?I was never of the mind that one guy was ever going to replace Bruce. If Flight can cover the smaller perimeter threats, that's one down, one to go in my book.I didn't mention Marion because Marion is a guy that someone with Bruce's body type can handle(speficially Bruce)...
I'm talking the big 2 guards and long SF types...LeBron, Artest, Bonzi...TMac.
calling T-Ma big.
The Spurs are undefeated with the Hawks as my listed team. For now it stays.
i dont wanna go through the pages so ill ask... will white be ready to go tonight or next game?
Hedo hater.
TMac is tall...to tall for Bowen, you know, big in the tall sense. And if you'd been a fan prior to our last le, you'd know that.
He's the other guy we would need.
Uhh,Huuuhuuu, Cool!
