The Boston Celtics may need to trade key players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to alleviate luxury tax issues. With Jayson Tatum out due to injury, Derrick White's age, defensive ability, and effective 3-point shooting position him as a desirable trade candidate. His contract is seen as favorable, allowing the Celtics flexibility in roster adjustments. Former Warriors staffer Logan Murdock mentioned White as a target for Golden State, indicating his value in the league and potential role in a young team.
"Another guy for the Warriors to look at going forward is Derrick White. I think that's something the Warriors are looking at right now. That's somebody who can play defense, can settle everyone down especially when you have a young group like that."
"If the Celtics are looking to maximize their returns and retool on the fly following Tatum's injury, could another Celtics starter in Derrick White be a more appealing trade chip?"
