Silver lining, last time the Spurs were this bold with one of their favorite sons, the results were (at the time) extremely positive with Number Deuce. There is no doubt in my mind the Spurs feel there are potentially several game changing talents in this draft...

I'll mark this post and re-post it for you when white goes down...
cheers!
What I'm hoping for is that the FO did some deep scouting and is absolutely in love with some players in the 15-25 range, so they aggressively made moves to get in that range.
^ Could be wrong obviously, but I suspect their thinking wasn't that deep. My sense was it was probably more so just the realization that it was past time to pick a clear direction and in Young's case there was obviously urgency to get something done.
It also might be a sign of Wright gaining power. Windhorst said recently (paraphrasing) something along the lines of a disagreement in how to proceed in the front office.

A pretty solid trade for us! Tought to trade White but this is a nice return.
Richardson, can fill in at sg/sf and has the wingspan to improve the entire team defensively. He's not the offensive player white is, but if used correctly should work out.
Langford, looks like one of those guys that never really got his shot, but he fits in as a 3 and d guy, if he can develop that 3. Hopefully he puts in work with Chip.
We got a a top 20 pick aswell.
A 15 ppg, elite defender on a good contract gets you two low-end role players and a non-lottery pick? Seems like a return. I'm hurt.
My DW jersey is useless now
I have a DWhite fiesta jersey, tbh.
Kawhi PTSD
Yeah I know
I have a Kahawii SA Spurs bobble head
Psst. If everything goes sideways for Boston, we get the pick unless it’s 1-4. It could be a lottery pick.
White was a Thanos-Gamora sacrifice. It had to be done for the greater good.
If he can keep his head in the game, for three or four games in a row that makes him quite good the problem with Walker isn't that he didn't show flashes or have good games the problem is that his head was often out of the game.
Probably going to have Rishardson or Vassel start, Lonnie back-up, though Lonnie might get a 10 game from pop "prove this should be your spot and extension" but that is "98-08" pop not modern pop. Modern pop started pop 14 ship.
White-Poeltl was a top 10 pick and roll combination this year by the stats.
They already had problems scoring, it might get a lot worse.
At this point? Good!
we are trying to get a top5 pick correct?!
If anything this deadline proved the sours are in full on tank mode
I wouldn't mind having him play PF off the bench
That's probably true.
Whatever he is, he needs to continue to work on moving with the ball in his hands and up his FGA.
Yep. This to me is the real return. You nearly guarantee a top 5 pick and maybe a potential star talent. It was the right move and they did White a solid sending him to a far better situation for him. The pick swap 5 years from now is a really interesting wrinkle.
Season is half over... That means he is due
I like White a lot. He is solid, a glue guy. I am not one to believe players stop getting better at the age of 26, so White can get better. Regardless, he isn’t an All Star player now and likely won’t be on the Celtics. We are a below average team with him so trading him shouldn’t impact wins hardly at all The Spurs needed to see what the young guards have and White was a progress stopper from that perspective. We cleared his contract, get to see Vassal and Primo, and got an asset. The end.
This is the problem when you draft a glut of guards.
Someone was bound to to be the odd-man out. I expected it to be Lonnie...but instead, White apparently had more value in the trade market.
We still have Murray, Walker (for now), Jones, Primo, Vassell all developing...plus Richardson and Langford are now theoretically in the mix.
At some point...someone was bound to go and I think we all agree Murray won the DJ vs. Derrick battle.
