But who do you think is considered valued highest/untouchable and who do you think is likely to be traded? Jabari Young: Think right now, Derrick and Dejounte are the only untouchables. And if someone offers a nice deal for Bertans, I think Spurs will bite.
After guiding the Spurs to the postseason, White exploded for 36 points in Game 3 versus Denver and opened eyes across the NBA landscape. However, as the Spurs’ opening-round series against the Nuggets has now reached six games, White has sputtered at times. “He’s basically a young kid who’s feeling his way,” head coach Gregg Popovich said. “Playoffs are different than the regular season.”
White is also having the tough task of guarding Denver’s Jamal Murray and at times Gary Harris. He is also learning that the postseason is much more physical than the regular season. “They (Nuggets) are just being more physical and not letting me get to my spot,” White said recently.
Harrison Wind: More Malone, on holding Derrick White in check in Game 4 after his career-high in points in Game 3: “Game 3 it was a Derrick White highlight film, or horror show, depending on what vantage point you’re looking at.”
Paul Garcia: Coach Pop says this a “great education” for Derrick White in being more of a focus for Denver after his break out game in Game 3.
Michael Singer: Gary Harris on whether Jamal Murray took what Derrick White did in Game 3 personally: “I think we all did. Not just Jamal. It just wasn’t on him. It was on all of us. I think we’re all going to take it personally.”
