Derrick White’s Trade Buzz Swirls Amid Celtics’ Offseason Shake-Up
So, here’s what’s going on — and it’s been quite the rollercoaster if you’ve been following the Boston Celtics lately. After moving key pieces like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis in back-to-back deals, the Celtics are suddenly at the center of swirling trade rumors once again. But now, the spotlight is shifting toward Derrick White.
Now, let’s be clear — White hasn’t been traded yet. But the chatter around him is growing, and fast. According to insider reports, especially from ESPN’s Shams Charania, multiple teams are showing serious interest in both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. The Celtics, for their part, reportedly aren’t eager to let go of either player, especially White, who’s become a critical two-way asset. But — and this is a big but — they’re not turning off the phones either. If the right deal comes along, Boston might just listen.

And let’s not forget the context here. Boston has just pulled off two massive trades: first, shipping out Holiday to Portland and then moving Porziņģis to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal involving the Nets. In return, they received Georges Niang and some future draft assets. These moves help the Celtics dip under the second tax apron, giving them more roster flexibility. It’s a strategic financial play, especially with Jayson Tatum expected to miss significant time next season due to an Achilles injury.
But in the middle of all that, Derrick White has quietly become a name of real value on the market. He’s reliable, defensively sound, and a smart playmaker — everything you want in a modern guard. And in today’s NBA, that kind of profile is in high demand. Teams are clearly hoping Boston might crack under the weight of roster rebalancing and salary cap gymnastics.
Let’s be honest — Boston’s roster situation is messy right now. They're still contenders, but also retooling on the fly. And if the front office gets an offer for White that helps keep them competitive and gives them breathing room financially? That’s when things could get very real.
So, we’re watching this closely. White may not be going anywhere immediately, but the smoke is there. And in the NBA, smoke often leads to fire. With the draft unfolding and free agency right around the corner, we could see even more dominoes fall. For now, Celtics fans — hold your breath. Derrick White could be the next big name on the move.
