We can pay him whatever if he waits for free agency I believe…I just hope Wyc’s approach is:

I think the approach is to keep the starting 5 intact for a multiple championship run. If they're going to keep Tatum, they need to keep White as well. Maybe Wyc is thinking if Golden State could do it, why not him? Despite the fact the Celtics don't own the Garden.

In both cases, the tanking part worked.

Philly just botched most things afterwards. The jury is of course still out on San Antonio.

Philly blew up a second round team to tank for years so they could build a second round team. Should have just kept Iguodala, Holiday and Vucevic and skipped the half decade of unwatchable garbage at the beginning of the process instead.

Maybe for now. Just wait til we unleash Walsh next year from stealth mode. White might not be the best even on his own team.

I just watched the TNT postgame show from last night and Barkley called him The Fireman. Because he's so hot. And the other guys liked it.

I'm not sure it makes total sense lol but it's not bad. Wonder if it will stick.

White didn't seem to fit the current timeline for SA
JRich was playing FaNTASTiC bb at the time !
Romeo was always a bust, so mucH talent size and shooting. Thankfully they fell for his upside 8-)

With Wemby + premium picks and plenty of Cap, the Spurs should be just fine and the upcoming pick swap shouldn't hurt us :D

2 pts on 0 shots. We're halfway to my prediction -- 40 pts on 2 shots!
