Derrick has been working his tail off all year. He has a personal trainer with him to make sure he's getting in 2-3 hours of shooting everyday (outside of game days).
I've notice an improvement in his stroke in recent months.
Too much overlap and not in a good way for a starting back court. You need 2 dynamic perimeter players in this league now and neither of them are that. They're the type who compliment those types.White is going to be a good NBA player just because he can shoot.
Imagine Brogdon & White as our future back court.

murray and white fit very well together too, in theoryWhite is going to be a good NBA player just because he can shoot.

What theory?
its only in theory because we haven't seen it in practice yet.What theory?
their games complement each other quite well
One of them needs to shot the three. Your theory is dumb as .
If PATFO bring back either Patty or Tony I will be hooping mad. Not disappointed and certainly not surprised - but mad. I thoroughly expect PATFO to bring back both.
White can shoot the 3 and has an all around offensive game. For a supposed elite poster you should already know this. Murray and White are the future backcourt.One of them needs to shot the three. Your theory is dumb as .
I haven't seen him do at the NBA level. And he's trash.
Take that to the bank.
Yes. I'm also looking at the whole season, though. He's doing better in the paint than Murray and Mills are. And this is with him usually not having the luxury of playing with his star player to make his drives easier. Green's gone through stretches this season where he was the first option on the perimeter. Most players who are normally tertiary play-makers aren't better.
Lol murray. U dumb
Bell got hurt again. Might have to switch our "greener grass" complaints to Bolden instead.
I have thought some more about Danny. I don't think the Spurs told him he's gone if he opts out... but he must want to get paid and read the tea leaves with Kiwi's supermax and the contracts the Spurs gave the past summer.
Think about this, he's a better player than Mills, and although Pau is still capable of putting up stats they are tending to be of the "empty calories" variety. Danny is still a player that helps you win games, specially if you have a star. He was an all nba 2nd team defender last season and this season has stood on his own defensively, outside of Kawhi's shadow.
Thinks about this:
Danny knows his value, his agent knows his value. He is looking for his last big contract. Considering possible trades in the future (bc he's already been in trade rumors and that is part of the business), he's got to look out for his bottom line. Spurs may not be able to afford him. I am now thinking they may legit be trying to prop up Mills' value like MaNu4Tres argues to trade him instead. There is a lot to be gained by trading Mills:
1. Opens up playing time for their young draft picks,
2. Opens up the possibility for them picking up a FA,
3. They have FA of their own that they need to pay or they will simply lose them.
It's a speculation obviously, but If I am right, the Spurs will not tank even if the playoffs seem out of the picture. It's not just the fact that they are late to start tanking, it's also that they have a veteran team whose players' market value will decline if they aren't playing. Like DAvis starting for Gasol depletes Gasol's value, promotes a narrative that he's washed up, etc. That may have influenced the Spurs returning him to the starting lineup just as much as Gasol whining about it. They already saw whatever they wanted to see out of Davis during the short stint he had starting games. They probably also have a better idea of how much Davis is worth to them. I figure if they fall out of playoff contention, boosting trade value for veterans under contract and determining value of players who are going to be FA is probably a priority (like Kyle, Davis and Bryn, who all got a lot of playing time for different reasons). I bet they will work on reintegrating Rudy as best they can, and figuring out thigns in preparation for the offseason.

Yeah, I'm sure Danny wants a big contract. So do a lot of players. Thing is, the market timing sucks for him - there's not a lot of space. Look at potentially available cap space :

I figure there are 6-8 teams that can really offer a contract beyond the MLE (~8.5 Million 1st year), and he's not rating as a top level FA:

Hoopshype has him as 35th.
He's going to have a HARD time getting a contract beyond the MLE...Unless the Spurs put a "corporate knowledge" contract in front of him.
In 2018..
Better than Manu.
Better than Tony.
Better than Patty.
Better than Bryn.
Better than Paul.
CIA pop is going to stunt his growth on purpose to prevent other teams wanting him after his rookie contract and allowing the Spurs to resign him cheap.
One of them needs to shot the three. Your theory is dumb as .
Just Facts.
But since he can play PG, it would be a shame to play him at SG. The lesser midgets we have to play, the better.
See above: the lesser midgets we have to play, the better.
Knowing how Pop is a defensive minded coach first, I doubt he's all that cool with two PG's lineups. But if he is, it's just further proof of how out of touch he is with how today's NBA should be played.

Give Derrick all of Patty minutes. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
I agree.
It is true that Mills should be at zero minutes.
Maybe he could be a specialist at the end of quarters.
