I'd be interested to understand what protections are on the 1st rounder

From what ive read the pick is 1-4 protected, so odds are the spurs will get it.

Right. I wonder why we valued Derrick White so highly.

Me too. One thing that occurred to me is that Brad is creating roster space in preparation for another move, either a trade or using a trade exception. I think another shoes is about to drop.

We lost Romeo Langford, but we get back a player who is basically what we imagine Romeo could one day be like.
Don't like that we gave up a 1st rounder, but we needed to sweeten the pot.
We sold high on Josh Richardson -- his value is maybe at its highest in a while.

Wondering out loud here. Is the intent to start Smart and White? I don't think we gave up what we did for Derrick White only to have him be a sixth man (maybe for the remainder of this season).
And Smart coming off the bench might be ok, but we're paying him too much to be a bench player.
Maybe one of them becomes a trade chip this summer?

He is very smart-like. prolly not the all-world defender that smart is, but very good. One big difference in White's favor is he's a far better finisher at the rim than smart is. dude will take it in hard.

What do we think of the Derrick White trade now?
Some folks on other boards were saying we overpaid for DW, saying giving SA our first round pick was too much (in addition to giving them Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford). Didn't help when DW hit a shooting slump.
But now that we're the [HASH]2 seed in the East, in part because of DW, and our 1st round pick is [HASH]24, what do you guys think?

Let's just say I'd do it again. He's a perfect fit.

I'd do it again as well. He does a lot of things well.

He checks all the boxes. I'd say we'd be hard pressed to find a player of his impact with the 24th pick in this year's draft anyways.
