I know you think everyone loves White because of a playoff game or whatever. But Derrick's been better than Murray for years now, and that didn't stop just because he got hurt. I don't mean that "I'm holding out hope that White can have a healthy season and show he's better than Murray." I mean, "Even with his injuries, White is better than Murray." An idealized game-whatever version of White that you think people are clinging to would be a superstar. No one expects him to be that -- definitely more people expect Murray to be that guy on this forum. What I think most people are hoping for is a guy in the 18ppg range with good shooting, play-making and All-Defense --caliber play on that end. It would be nice if he were in the low-20s -- that might make him good enough to be an All-Star in a weak year. But don't confuse me with a guy who thought White was the best player on the team the last couple of years.
Anyway, I don't hate Murray by any means. We've gone over this. I think he'd be great on another team. I think the team should trade him, but they should also get a high price for him, because he's a good player who doesn't fit on the roster. That's not a White thing though. Even if Derrick were traded, I'd still think Murray would need to be moved. That's because of his relationship with the team and its culture, not so that White can be a star or whatever. All that said, DeJounte's been through a lot recently. I wouldn't want the team to force him in a deal right now. A good deal that puts him in a good situation and gives the Spurs a good return? Sure. But if Pop wants DJM to be there for his last season, that's okay too.
Still, he and White don't have my trust as a starting duo. If Murray is going to be on the team and if White is going to be shaky, then Derrick needs to come off the bench and at least one of the many two-guard prospects the team has should be starting instead.
