Since 1983, White has logged the most assists (26) for a player committing 2 or less turnovers in a conference finals.

very awesome to have 100% confidence in this guy taking the shot to send the team to the Finals. Didn't know nor care that he was 1-8 from 3 at the moment. Splash!

Type of plays (like Jrue’s steal on Nembhard or JB’s block on Nembhard) that help you win games (and hopefully a title soon)…

Derrick White didn't crack the top 100 NBA players according to ESPN before the season. Here is a sample of the guys they had in there over him:
Colin Sexton
Grant Williams
John Collins
Jordan Clarkson
Scoot Henderson
Jordan Poole

Remember those people are getting paid to provide their basketball "analysis" proving once again that

So put this in tandem with the previous post. This warrants more discussion after the Finals but it could mean even more good news than just the obvious that we keep a great player.

I don't understand trade rules, tax implications, aprons whatever. I am a fan, not an accountant. Brad has to find a way to resign with this guy. It will be a tremendous loss if we cannot.

4yrs 126mil will end up being a steal of a contract if the C's win multiple chips. Lock him up if that's what it takes.

He has the makeup of a Holiday when it comes to health and durability. Does Jrue play like a 34yr old? And he has a lot more miles on that engine (15 yrs 30K minutes).

He will improve on some aspect of his game each season.

I would love to know what sneaky player Brad has his eyes on next?

Love White but we need the headline “Derrick White plans on hitting shots in Game 5.”

37% on almost 9 attempts would be passable if JT isn't shooting 29% and JB 24%.

At least pay his dental bill
Spoiler:
For the next 5 years. Which means he's an employee and has to keep playing for us. I don't make the rules.
