we have too many wings, if we draft another wing that's 4 for the rotation unless Pop wants to play Keldon at the 4 again. Spurs should either use him to move up or to get another future 1st
I love JRich, and I think the kids absolutely do, too, and I'd move him in a cold minute for a FRP.
Keldon is getting a big extension this summer, which will kick in next summer, right when JRich's contract ends. They'll be negotiating Vassell's extension at that time. If we sign anyone this summer, they'll be getting paid on that same cap. JRich will be 30 when his next contract season one kicks in, and it'll likely be his last big one, so he probably won't give a discount, and will walk for nothing. There's just going to be too much on the cap or the cap horizon to pay a complementary player who won't push us over the top into the playoffs. He would have great value to a contender as a 3andD who is a good locker room guy. Like Manny said, you need to take as many FRP shots as you can, even late ones, so that something pans out eventually.

I don't think he should be moved for just anyone. Maybe wait and see until the trade deadline to see how the team is going, but IMO, the team really played better when he arrived. The chemistry seemed really good between him and the rest of the team. I don't think you should just move him for a late first round pick right away. See how it goes first. I would definitely move him in a package for an upgrade, but I just don't think a late first round pick is better move right away.
Derrick looking terrible again. Single-handedly letting Miami back in the game with his turnovers and terrible shot selection.
You have to look past that. He isn not a “ball stopper” and he’s unselfish.
So far second leading scorer and making all this right plays
Hmmm
Today White is the windshield
Yesterday he was the bug
He is still noticeably average. Horrible shooter. Miami is just playing worse.
Josh Richardson will not be paid in the summer of 2023. Start with that, and what the Spurs will do becomes only a matter of timing. Even during his media session after the play in, he seemed resigned to his fate.
There's no way to paint this deal for the Spurs in a bad light. Even one for one, Richardson's skillset suits the Spurs better, and on top of that you get 25 in a draft where value is projected to be available at that spot, plus an (almost) unprotected swap that could be a golden ticket.
This season's moves have been excellent, hopefully they don't screw it come draft night.
Haters gon hate
U b u Mr. White
4-14 tonight, including 1-8 from 3. His offensive woes continue. I’m rooting for Derrick, but the Celtics are winning in spite of him, not because of him. He’s still a plus defender though. I’ll give him that. And he had 8 boards and 6 assists tonight.
It's better if White does great.
If the Spurs always win the better end of every trade they make the front office looks too savvy and other teams will become more reluctant to trade with them.
Hoping White plays sensational.
For that to happen, we'd have to be a good team and Keldon would have to be our second best player. If Keldon is our second best player, I don't think we are a good team. So I'll sell the idea of him making any all star appearances.
That's a good point. I, too, hope White does great the rest of the playoffs.
Derrick White will be shooting bricks for his entire career. I don't get why people think otherwise
Lol no way he lasts in Boston. That team and city are wayyy to cut throat. Last night was arguably his best game as a Celt. That contract looks worse and worse, getting off of that was great timing by B Wright.
He would have been our highest paid player this year LOL
I remember when he was with the Spurs he was a big favorite on this board (not you in particular) and now no one thinks highly of him.
Yeah right
No one
I think highly of Derrick White.
I think we have seen a large enough sample size to say White is what he is...a Jekyll and Hyde player, similar to Lonnie.
He could have a great game for you or hit some big shots, but then would follow that up by being mostly invisible for the next game or two.
We saw it in San Antonio, and we are seeing the same in Boston. There are times where he looks like a steady floor general out there, and times where he looks lost or is just shooting them out of the game.
Between his inconsistency and injury issue, the Spurs were better off getting out of that contract and actually managed to gain some assets in the process.
The guys got talent. Weve all seen it but he just is soo damn inconsistent . His lack of confidence at times is alarming
spurs won the out of that trade
He was good until the foot injury.
Lost me at hit some big shots. That dunk over Milsap was door though.
I never said he was a consistent shooter...but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then
