Celtics Made Important Derrick White Decision After Jaylen Brown Trade

After trading Jaylen Brown, the Boston Celtics received calls from multiple teams inquiring about Derrick White but firmly declined to engage in any trade discussions. According to NBA insider Sean Deveney citing a Western Conference executive, teams saw White as a potential lowball target due to his contract and a perceived down year, but the Celtics made clear he was not available. White averaged 16.5 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game last season and is highly valued both by teammates and the front office.
