I'd trade White and Hauser for him. Solid roster with financial flexibility.

Ball
Brown
Walsh
Tatum
Queta

Pritchard
Gonzalez
Minott
Garza

LaMelo is a tough one. He's young, and quite skilled, but I just don't think he's the right fit for the Celtics. Give they already have two primary ball handlers in Tatum/Brown I'd rather fill out the roster with strong defensive role players rather than use resources on a guy who also needs the ball.

White's arguably better than Ball so I wouldn't trade him alone, never mind adding Hauser

LaMelo Ball dismissed a Yahoo! report that emerged Thursday indicating Ball is unhappy with the Hornets and open to being traded elsewhere. It didn?t come from me, Ball said. The source wasn?t me, so it?s false info. Got to let them know. I really don?t like commenting on stuff, but it got too big. He added: I love being here.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Derrick White: TS%: .481, USG%: 23.3, TOV per 100: 2.1, VORP: 0.6, Point per 100: 24.2,    DRtg: 112
Lamelo Ball:     TS%:.514,  USG%: 32.5, TOV per 100: 5.6, VORP: 0.2, points per 100: 33.1, DRtg: 118

They are both having down years. LaMelo is 7 years younger than White. This is more so a trade about getting younger and gaining financial flexibility than it is "win now."
