Welcome to Boston Derrick White

[Big333223]

Feels like a bit of an overpay but I'm excited to see Smart and White play together. He seems like a high IQ, tough guard. I like it.

Stevens and Ime are trying to build an identity, and it seems like White will fit in quite well. 

Both White and Theis are high character, well-liked guys who hustle and play defense.

I would just greatly appreciate it if White would cut off that mop. College is over dude, you're 27. Put down the bong and head for the barber shop.

Panic move by Brad because other teams in the East made deals.  Wow, what an overpay!

I am fine punting the season, we are not beating the Nets this year with Irving, Simmons and Durant. If they somehow get injured or lose, we are not beating Bucks or 76ers either. However, the 2028 pick swamp seems absolutely ludicrous.

Agreed - Could they really not have gotten the deal done without the pick swap?

Welcome D-White!

   I figured it was compensation like balding dudes with pony tails.

I just saw D White’s highlight reel and although these reels are at times deceiving…I like his height and his willingness to pass.

Get rid of those sideburns, Mattingly

The guy on Celtics Blog hates the White trade. Saying it will ruin the team. Hot take...

Here’s how everything will play out from yesterday’s mistep.

The Celtics will come back to earth after their recent stretch of success. They’ll continue to blow fourth quarter leads as everyone will recognize that beating Orlando, Detroit, and New Orleans shouldn’t be celebrated. Jayson and Jaylen will have no space attack the hoop. Get ready for a gluttony of contested 18-foot jumpers. More importantly, get ready for the play-in tournament.

Brad Stevens won’t be the GM for long. Either next season or the year after, Rick Carlisle will get fired from Indiana. Wyc Grousbeck will allow Brad to interview for the job, which he’ll eventually accept.

Jaylen Brown will leave Boston when he hits free agency in 2024. 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. It won’t fall in the top-1 protected range because we’ll be punished by the basketball gods. It’s Tim Duncan all over again.

I know I’m right about this trade. I’ll be right two games from now, two months from now, and two years from now. I don’t care that we ducked the tax. I don’t care that we collected some trade exceptions. I do care that our current roster is worse, and our future outlook is bleak.

This was a disaster.

Drivel, can't stand this kind of sensationalist look at me blog boy journalism. You want to not support the trade go right ahead but take a hike with this kind of hot take.

[Surferdad]

Whatever.  I'm not sure what this writer is trying to accomplish.  He's taking a huge risk

I’ll be right two games from now

just to able to say "I was right" 6 years from now. Let's see how that works out two games from now.  What a turd.

That article makes me feel especially bad that my haphazard application to write for Celticsblog got no response. I know I'm better than that!! 

[Kiorrik]

That piece is heavily discussed on Twitter with most people saying it's at least part satire
