We'll see what happens. Still think they overpaid. BUT that was a nice debut by White!

I always loved the player but we'll see if the trade was worth it down the road (in terms of what we gave up)

The only way it's an overpay is of we have to swap picks.  If we don't then the Cs won the deal.  I guess in 6 years or when someone invents a time machine will we know.

TP for being one of the first on this board to be genuinely and unequivocally supportive of acquiring Derek White. I was too.

Who cares about winning the trade… That’s Danny talk. And lots on here who don’t want to admit it wasn’t a decent decision and tell us to wait till 2028. They can wait all they want, and I’ll enjoy Derek White right  here now for and contributing to our playoff push.

Wiliams was inconsistent at best, and Schroeder was gone end of the year. Players they got are a better fit.  They need a passing point who can penetrate and a big defensive back up at center.

Brad got players who fit. Team will be better. Maybe not championship yet but at least competitive again if healthy.

Need a shooter, either one on bench develops to pick one up now.

Williams?  You mean Richardson, right? And he was possible the most consistent Celtic this season.  But... totally agree that White (at least I think so, need to see him play more) and Theis are better for this team than JR and DS.  Hope Brad can pick up a shooter through buyout.

And hope PP can start to think of himself as 2022 Eddie House and go out there and stick his 3's.

Tony Parker was #9 in San Antonio, so perhaps White always wanted #9.

This is just solid fan conjecture here. Well done and keep them coming.

I would just greatly appreciate it if White would cut off that mop. College is over dude, you're 27. Put down the bong and head for the barber shop.

Get rid of those sideburns, Mattingly

Omg I spit out my drink. Well deserved TP!

Such a great episode. Cheers.

I actually like the aesthetic of the long hair under his band. If he goes without the wrap, its terrible. The guy might have the biggest forehead in the NBA.
Edit: Also, I can say this....I too suffer from a 5-7head.
