Obviously Hindsight is 20-20, but D white would be the perfect player for SAS and Wemby and the team's development going forward. But maybe keeping D White stops SAS from obtaining a bad enough pick to get Wemby. But a win WIN trade for sure.

Full list of players with 80 blocks and 160 made threes this season:1. Derrick White - 172 threes, 83 blocks
/End of ListWith 13 games left, White has a chance to do something never been done in NBA history.

Wonder if he gets any votes for DPOY. I mean he has been really incredible for a while and I never hear anyone outside of Boston acknowledge him about his defense.

I think that's part (maybe not a huge part, but part) of the national narrative about him this season, and he made 2nd Team All Defense last season
https://theathletic.com/4500033/2023/05/09/nba-all-defense-team/If the All Defense team -- like All NBA -- goes positionless it might reduce the guards who make it, but either way I'd imagine he's right up there with Caruso, Brooks (ugh), and KCP to make 1st or 2nd Defensive team.

Besides Caruso and White, Suggs, Herb Jones, SGA, Dort, and even Jrue are ones I hear mentioned for these spots. I haven't heard a peep about Dillon Brooks outside of the first month of the season.

Except from Dillon Brooks himself

Funny, cause this may have been one of Whites worst weeks of the season compared to how he’s played

White now has more PotW awards than Jordan Crawford.

DO NOT think that we don't see what you're doing, NBA. This is their way to delegitimatize Jayson Tatum's MVP campaign! Like, "how is Tatum deserving of MVP when he's got two-time PotW Derrick White on his team?!"

How many of those 4 games were both Tatum and Brown playing?
He can be option 2a/b with Porzingis

Most of these amount to live turnovers for the opponents too. Beautiful to watch. Dunno how he does it. Unique defensive player.

Watching that vid makes me wonder if Jimmy Butler still has nightmares about DWhite or is he finally sleeping well.
