The Boston Celtics have begun reshaping their roster to avoid crossing the second apron, dealing away starters Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis in separate trades that still netted them quality assets in return. Reports indicate the Celtics aren’t finished yet, and another player potentially on the move is Derrick White.
White has been a dependable contributor, putting up career-best averages of 16.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 season. He also posted 4.8 assists and added 2.0 combined steals and blocks per game. According to an NBA insider, players of White’s caliber on contending teams are likely to command a significant return.
In Jake Fischer’s latest piece on The Stein Line, he noted that the Celtics are reportedly seeking a return similar to what the Brooklyn Nets got for Mikal Bridges in their blockbuster deal with the New York Knicks.
