Derrick White revealed how Gregg Popovich told him the Spurs traded him 🤣 (via @whitenoisepod_/IG)
Getting traded is crazy. We’re in Atlanta. A pop walks into the room and is like, “Hey, uh, we traded you.” And doesn’t say anything. I’m like, “To where?” And he was like, “We wouldn’t have you. We sent you to Boston.” Um, I’m like, “All right, yeah, that’s cool.” Like, I think I I I thought I was okay. I’ll fit well there. But it’s also like why what what do I do? Brendon Bowman, he text me. He’s like, “You want me to get you a bottle?” Like, yes. So me and B start playing uh dominoes and drinking.

top 50 role player oat
Man at least he won a championship before they hit the “George Niang” era
….and they've been trying to get him back ever since.
Crazy to pick your whole life up and move across the county at the blink of an eye.
Is he on drugs here??
Hall of Fame bound.
We loved him here, he deserved it so much, im glad he said it to confirm it too, i tried telling my friends we literally were trying to help him get a ring cause of how hard he played for us during that 2019 playoff run
They "****" him buly sending him to be part of a championship team lol
This was the most gut wrenching trade for me that the spurs ever made. I didn’t know he’d turn into this but I knew that he was a couple years from being a high level impact starter on a winning team. Everything with him started with defense and taking charges, and offensively he played within the system. Great team guy
Look at all that hair 👀
Hey atleast Pops send him to a good team instead of purgatory teams like Hornets or Wizards 😂
Top tier homie
The most Awkward story telling
We need you back
The heart and soul of the Boston Celtics today
He had me the most worried in the Knicks series. More than Tatum or Brown. He was their volatile x factor. Suuuper talented player.
Thank goodness he stopped growing his hair after he got roasted btw. Bullying for the W 😂
Fam, get the natural hair transplant done
Pop the 🐐
pop is a real one, cause he knows a winning franchise that does it right…got him a ring out of it too 💯
Brandon a real one
Derrick White look like Shemar Moore son 😂😂😂
