I'm curious about what San Antonio would trade him for, especially considering he's signed through the 2024 season.

I'm sure some here would scoff at giving those assets up for White, but I think he fits everything Minnesota wants to do while being secured for the next three years below market value.[/quote

Well, I wasn't too far off. Now I'm worried that Minnesota is going to give up Malik Beasley and a first-round pick for Marcus Smart, essentially playing ourselves by not going after the superior guard in Derrick White while replenishing the war chest for Boston.

Even though I dig so many of the intangibles that a guy like Marcus Smart brings...



But it's a possibility...

Pain. I'm in pain.

And Langford

Yeah, but I'm seeing he was mainly included for salary matching. In any event, I would have done the Wolves equivalent. Malik Beasley, Leandro Bolmaro, and their 2022 first-round pick was the offer I was throwing out there. Damn.

A 1st round pick swap in 2028 was also added (for the Spurs)

Does this lead to Marcus Smart action?

Having both Smart and White seems a bit redundant.

Yeah, ironically, now I find myself hoping Minnesota doesn't make any trades out of fear they'll make a bad one. I don't have as much confidence in this front office after seeing so many useful players get moved for reasonable returns or practically nothing. Sachin Gupta should have been in on a lot of these guys. Maybe he was, but the inability to close would then be the issue.

Family. Love. Togetherness. Bahamas.

Come on what a joke
