You’re going to see a different Derrick white with the ball in his hands.
The only thing that worries me about this trade is that it opens up some cap space to give Keldon a White-like extension that he doesn't deserve. KJ's terrible defense and his inability to improve on that end means he's going to be a money sink if the Spurs give him starter level money.

Huge. It’s only protected 1-4.
Very sad to see Derrick go. I'll always remember that video of him crying after he got that phone call from Pop when we took him on draft day.
Yes, root for the Raptors every game. There's a pretty good chance the Raptors are in the East 7-10 play-in, and them going cold for a game or two could easily lead to the pick not conveying this year.
Best case is Boston somehow losing a ton and dropping to the #11-12 pick (and not jumping into the top 4), while the Raptors squeak into the playoffs via the play-in and give their #16 pick to the Spurs. The former isn't very likely but the latter is.
We had way worst players…
Langford looks like a little bit less athletic, but a little bit smoother and headier version of Lonnie Walker, for whatever that's worth.
The problem is that is SOUNDS more impressive than it is. If season ended now, it’d be the 18th pick and BOS will likely only improve with addition of White.
Anyone know Langford’s wingspan? Looks pretty long
I'm really sad to see White go as I'm a big fan of his, but this is a really good trade for the Spurs for their future.
I mean this is not a given. Richardson was a valuable shooter for them. I do think they needed a player like White, but we'll see how well he meshes with that team. Plus injuries happen.
Along with the 6th and 20th, which could potentially be packaged to move into the top 3.

Welcome back Timvp. It's inevitable. Spurs need to clear space for our future SG Primo. They drafted him with our highest pick yet and going all in with him. I think we're doing Derrick a solid also by getting him in a contender, plus getting a FRP. Win/Win for both.Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, 2022 first-round pick protected 1-4, for Derrick White
I like White but I like this trade. I mean, I'm a big fan of White and really enjoy watching him play. But he's closing in on 28, which means his timeline isn't great for a rebuilding team. Getting a first round pick for him is a win. Langford is interesting -- he probably isn't worth much but there might be something there. Richardson has value and could be flipped for even more picks.
Thanks Derrick for the memories!
Sad to see him go. Was a joy watching him compete.
Spurs leaning further into rebuild, ac ulating more firsts and opening play time for the roster.
Even at our very best, we were just a .500 team.
Can’t be mad but feeling dejected right now. Best of luck in Boston DW.
I wonder how much involved Pop was in moving Derrick. Weird he plays 32 minutes last night and is traded less than 24 hours later. Also sort of odd that Dejounte had no idea this was going to happen and posted a gif on twitter saying "WTF"
Murray is far and away our best player but he's not at the level of a Tim or DRob where the front office is in constant communication with them about front office moves
A late FRP isn't going to move anything like that.
I think its a nice lil haul for derrick. Hes a solid starter but clearly spurs were ready to move away from that deal
Agree.
Really sorry to see him go, but getting rid of his salary (as a 28 year old), getting a decent semi-replacement for now, and then a platoon guy in Langford who's improved in defense, and then the pick stuff. It's good.
Spurs went from not making any deals to doing every possible trades at the deadline
Love this trade. We get a first and a future pick swap out of a player who clearly peaked in that Denver series. We also can feel pretty confident going forward that Vassel and Primo are going to start being force fed minutes. If Collins can stay healthy we are not one non trash power forward away from being a team with a real future.
I liked Derrick but as I have said plenty of times he just doesn't impact winning anymore. All that taking charges and defending the rim great for a guard doesn't help you nearly as much as taking and making open 3 point shots which is something he did in the bubble and pretty much never did again.
Must have had some pretty strong offers for Derrick if Boston had to do a pick swap to get the deal done. That is very dangerous. NBA moves at warp speed so who knows what happens in 2028
6'11 wingspan
Is lonnie now the starter?!
Is Richardson's contract guaranteed in 2022 2023 ?
