The moment the Celtics traded for Derrick White, I yelled out loud "YES!" by myself.  He kept our season alive by doing what he does best, EVERYTHING!  Let's go, what a season boys, enjoy.

Me too. I thought we fleeced them.

That 2028 swap hurts a bit less now SAS have Wemby.
Wait, doesn’t SAS getting Wemby significantly increase the likelihood that the pick will convey?

I think that’s what he’s saying, NG.

Edit: I stand corrected. It’s top one protected, I thought it was top 10. Five years is an eternity in the NBA anyway.
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

it is a swap though, so yeah maybe more likely to swap but if Boston is still good even if we swap it won't matter.  Boston just can't be bad, but that was always the concern on the swap i.e  Boston. Is bad.

Spurs fans must be loving Derrick White now, esp for what he did against the Miami Heat. The same coach-led team that broke their heart in 2013.

Feel like it's us against the world typa mentality right now. Everyone in the NBA but the Celtics rooting for the Heat.

I love his game! Low-usage, 2-way combo guard who's a reliable shooter. The epitome of a team-first player. I'd argue he contributes to winning more than Brown does.

White's reminded me of DJ since he put on a C's uniform.  That was the quintessential DJ play.

I hope we can keep White here for a long time, even after his current contract expires after 2024. Just a solid, smart player on both ends with a good story, but also I think he still has room to grow/improve. White is still just 28 years old.

Just checked the shooting stats for the Celtics playoff run so far...

D White: FG% - 51.2%; 3P% - 47.5%; FT% - 92.6%; 2P% - 56.3%

Averaging 29.3 min/g in 19 games, he is having an amazing post season.  Also averaging 1.1 blks/g.
