At minimum it does provide flexibility for sure

Agree, makes it much easier to package Horford and Smart, maybe even Rob (borderline all star/DPoY)/Horford/Smart if Towns ever asks out
We can do a big KG type trade in the future and still have a Rondo and Perk type left over on the roster, however you look at it
And we can just steadily improve and contend with this core. And wait for whenever the inevitable next big star asks out

I'm not sure White isn't Smart in disguise. They seem like the same player.

Durant could ask out now that harden is gone and irving is a lunatic
beal and lillard - we know they're both on the verge of asking out.
brad needs to keep his finger on the pulse this offseason. if we can pull the trigger and somehow add either durant, beal or lillard without giving up tatum or brown....watch out!
hell, Donovan mitchell could even ask out if things end badly this season in utah..
Gutted. I get it from a longer-term vision for our team, but Derrick is my favourite Spur. Before that it was Patty, so watch out next Spur I get attached to lol
Derrick peaked in the bubble where he averaged 18PPG and took over 8 3s a game at good efficiency, and when he started against Denver in the playoffs before that. Since then, he hasn't reached that level, but it's a function of context as well.
He'll be incredible for the Cs as well - good facilitator, combo guard so can run point or be off ball, can shoot 3, physical drives, great on P&R, excellent defender, steps up to take charges, EXCELLENT human being - read up on his story trying to get noticed to get to the NBA, and excellent in the community.
That said, we've got a glut of guards, and with Devin and Primo coming up, both on rookie deals, I think Derrick costing us more than DJ in the front court was a tough but perhaps necessary deal.
Derrick loves Tatum - budding bromance from Team USA, and he's familiar with the coaching staff (Udoka, Hardy) who likely advocated for him.
He'll open up your passing, excellent locker room guy, great dad jokes, uuuuugh I miss him already... gutted, I get it but yeah, tough day from an emotional, fan stand point.
He just got married this summer and he and his wife are expecting, so big changes.
I feel he'll open his game more with having the talent Cs have around him and they'll benefit from his steady presence and willingness to pass. Just don't get too down on him when he's having an inefficient shooting night. He'll still always give you something on the D end.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM, C'S FANS! You're now my East team. Sort of a full circle return as when I started watching the NBA I cheered for the Cs... Good luck!
