This week, the Boston Celtics made significant moves to alleviate salary cap constraints by trading away key players, including Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, to save over $180 million in luxury-tax penalties. Amid these changes, Derrick White has emerged as a sought-after asset, with the Toronto Raptors reportedly offering the No. 9 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. However, the Celtics view White as too valuable to part with for that offer, with indications that they seek more substantial returns before considering any trade involving him.
"There were reports that the Raptors offered the No. 9 pick for Derrick White, but Boston laughed at that offer and said we need way more than No. 9 for Derrick White."
"Celtics were busy this week...traded away two key cogs...clearing up over $180 million in luxury-tax penalties."
