The Celtics won’t trade Tatum, thinking the supermax will entice him to stay, but he too will leave Boston during his 2025 free agency. The Celtics will be a bad team for the years to come, and in 2028, we’ll have to relinquish our top-5 pick to the Spurs.

Feb 12, 2022 · As is reasonably obvious now, DARKO grades Derrick White as a higher-end starter while it grades Richardson and Schroder as lower-end rotation players. Source. Conclusion: Hopefully it is evident now that Derrick White is a pretty big upgrade from Josh Richardson when you look beyond the traditional counting stats.

Feb 15, 2023 · “I can say this without hesitation: Derrick White is the most unspectacular player in the NBA. He’s not fast, can’t jump, doesn’t have the handle or passing to be considered a pure point guard, and lacks the bucket-getting instincts of a modern scoring guard. He’s shooting 31 percent from three on 5.3 attempts.

Apr 21, 2023 · Even if white hadn’t exploded this year and made a massive leap forward, we still probably won that trade.

I hate moving Derrick, but moving him opens up more minutes for Primo and more opportunity for Devin along side assets we can us to move up in ...

I viewed this move similarly to the White trade Boston had, this graphic checks out. AC is gonna be so impactful on this team and will fit in perfectly. He’s going to be an underrated needle moving addition that potentially was the missing piece.

I get the trade for KP is probably the better trade by advanced stats/team building/whatever, and this might be the glasses of rose talking, but at this point i will go to my grave believing the trade for white was the best front office that’s been made this decade. all hail the buffalo

The other two guys that immediately wrote the trade off? That’s rough. But it wasn’t unfair in the moment to wonder if the trade would work out. Obviously, it did work out and gloriously so. But anyone suggesting in early 2022 that Derrick White would blossom into a true knockdown shooter and all star candidate would’ve raised some real ...
