It has been reported for a while now that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-rumors-boston-evaluating-jaylen-brown-derrick-white-trade-interest">teams have been calling the Celtics</a> about a White trade, and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reported Saturday on what it would <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/more-of-the-nba-free-agency-and-trade" rel="noopener">likely take for a deal to even be considered</a>.</p><p>“Speaking of the Knicks: Sources say Boston told at least one rival team that it would have insisted on a ‘Mikal Bridges-type’ package to part with Derrick White, league sources say. The Celtics have certainly received no shortage of inbound trade calls on both White and Jaylen Brown in recent days, but nothing got serious on either front,” Fischer said.</p><p>The Brooklyn Nets infamously got five first-round picks, a first-round pick swap and more in the Bridges deal, so that’s what the ballpark would be for a White trade. This latest development comes shortly after it was reported by ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/sources-raptors-offer-celtics-no-9-pick-derrick-white-trade">Toronto Raptors had offered Boston the ninth pick in the 2025 NBA Draft</a> as part of a larger framework for White.</p><h2><b>Celtics value Derrick White amid retool</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Derrick-White-looks-on.jpg"><figcaption>Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The 30-year-old guard has been a consistent spark plug for the Celtics since joining the team in 2022. Across 76 games last season, White averaged 16.4 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 38.4 percent from distance.</p><p>Rumblings regarding White’s future are not entirely surprising. The Celtics traded Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday earlier this month. While both players were members of the 2024 championship effort, their departures allowed Boston to move out of the second apron and avoid harsh tax penalties.</p><p>In total, Boston received Anfernee Simons, Georges Niang, and three second-round picks in the deals that sent Holiday and Porzingis to the Portland Trail Blazers and Atlanta Hawks, respectively.</p><p>Factors such as Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury, a new ownership group, and the general age of the team have encouraged Brad Stevens and the rest of Boston’s front office to tweak their roster and attempt to retool.</p><p>White has been a fan favorite, and while the Celtics are constructing a new look, it will take a king’s ransom for another team to acquire the guard.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, perhaps Brad Stevens’ comments from a Wednesday evening presser will change that.</p><p>Following the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, the Celtics’ President of Basketball Operations sat down to speak with the media just minutes before midnight. Even though he didn’t want to delve into trade talk details, the de facto general manager referred to Brown and White — and a few other C’s — as integral parts of the Celtics’ “foundation.”</p><p>“We’ll do our best to put the right group together,” Stevens said of the future roster. “We’ve got the foundation, obviously, with Jaylen and Jayson [Tatum] and D-White and Payton [Pritchard] and all those guys that a lot of teams would love to have.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Brad Stevens mentioned Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard when talking about the “foundation” of the Celtics:</p><p>“A lot of teams would love to have [that foundation].” <a href="https://t.co/L8l0PA5EI9">pic.twitter.com/L8l0PA5EI9</a></p><p>— Daniel Donabedian (@danield1214) <a href="https://twitter.com/danield1214/status/1938083338595799146?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Why Brad Stevens’ “foundational guys” could survive a busy offseason</b></h2><p>Celtics star Jayson Tatum is perhaps the only Green Teamer who’s largely avoided trade rumors. It’s no secret that Boston wants to duck under the second apron and shed salary this summer, and although the six-time All-Star is set to earn around $54 million next season, he’s the cornerstone of the franchise in the eyes of the front office.</p><p>Brown, the longest-tenured Celtic, hasn’t been immune to trade chatter. Yet, it doesn’t seem like Stevens is seriously considering any of the offers he’s heard for the 2024 NBA Finals MVP. In fact, the coach-turned-GM emphasized the importance of letting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jaylen-brown-knee-surgery-comes-silver-lining">Brown recover from a partial meniscus tear</a> so he can return to action in time for training camp and carry the load while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jayson-tatum-7-word-message-achilles-injury-rehab">Tatum sits for longer due to an Achilles injury</a>.</p><p>“We’ve got to prioritize JT’s health and make sure that he comes back fully strong,” Stevens asserted. “JB had a surgery, although his timeline to be back will be much quicker, obviously, and ready at the start of the season. So, I think the biggest thing for us is just making sure that we balance [financial flexibility and health], maximizing what we can with regard to what we bring back so we can continue to build and grow.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Brad Stevens can’t fully elaborate on trade talk quite yet, but he did mention prioritizing the health of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown: <a href="https://t.co/DXgkI5oE9W">pic.twitter.com/DXgkI5oE9W</a></p><p>— Daniel Donabedian (@danield1214) <a href="https://twitter.com/danield1214/status/1938080539480564138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Because Stevens is primarily focused on Tatum and Brown’s rehabs, it doesn’t sound like the seasoned stars are being shopped to other teams.</p><p>“We have to, again, prioritize the health of those two guys,” Stevens reiterated.</p><p>He made no further comment about White or Payton Pritchard, but the latter’s name hasn’t appeared in any serious trade gossip. As for White, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/sources-raptors-offer-celtics-no-9-pick-derrick-white-trade">Toronto Raptors reportedly proposed a deal for him</a> involving the ninth pick in the draft, per ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel.</p><p>That never came to fruition, as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/toronto-raptors/raptors-news-colin-murray-boyles-viral-moment-no-9-pick">Raptors went on to select forward Collin Murray-Boyles</a> at no. 9 while the C’s didn’t conduct a single trade during the draft. Rather than shaking up the roster again, Boston held onto its foundational players on Wednesday and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jonathan-givony-praises-boston-draft-steal">picked 19-year-old Spanish forward Hugo González</a> late in the first round.</p><p>Many question marks still remain for the Celtics this offseason, and more moves could be on the way if they continue to pursue financial freedom. But, for now, Stevens and the rest of the front office seem content to build around a terrific tandem, a fringe All-Star guard, and the reigning Sixth Man of the Year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The expectation is that if Toronto was to swing a deal for White in the coming hours leading up to Wednesday’s draft, they would do so with the involvement of other teams as part of a larger, multi-team trade.</p><p>Masai Ujiri and his front office have continued to search for ways to improve their roster after trading for former All-Star wing Brandon Ingram in February. White, who is known for his secondary scoring and impactful defensive presence, would immediately provide valuable championship experience to a younger Raptors team wanting to improve with Scottie Barnes as their focal point.</p><p>White, 30, has four more years left on his contract and will make $28.1 million during the 2025-26 season. This past season in Boston, he averaged 16.4 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 38.4 percent from 3-point range.</p><p>The Celtics are now in new territory.</p><p>For years, Boston has stood at the top of the Eastern Conference as a yearly championship threat. Now, in the wake of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jayson-tatums-teammate-gives-good-spirits-update-amid-achilles-recovery">Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury</a>, ownership change, and second-apron restrictions limiting the organization’s immediate potential, both Jaylen Brown and White have become the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/nba-rumors-multiple-teams-have-significant-interest-in-jaylen-brown-trade">focal point of trade discussions</a> across the NBA.</p><p>Brad Stevens has already been busy on the trade market before this year’s draft.</p><p>Two-time NBA champion <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/sources-implications-celtics-blazers-trade-jrue-holiday-anfernee-simons">Jrue Holiday was traded by the Celtics to the Portland Trail Blazers</a> late Monday night in a deal that sent Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks to Boston. One day later, K<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/atlanta-hawks/hawks-news-atlanta-acquiring-kristaps-porzingis-3-team-trade-celtics-nets">ristaps Porzingis was traded to the Atlanta Hawks</a> in a three-team deal that brought Georges Niang and a second-round pick to the Celtics.</p><p>By making these two trades, the Celtics have already moved out of the second apron and have <a href="https://x.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1937644911958085666" rel="noopener">saved themselves</a> close to $180 million in tax penalties, according to ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks.</p><p>Whether the Celtics would seriously consider further trades, especially involving White and Brown, has been the big question teams have been discussing in recent days. These are the two most valuable players in Boston entering next season, and some rival franchises are of the belief that these players are obtainable right now, sources said.</p><p>However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/celtics-offseason-trade-intel-after-jayson-tatum-injury-siegels-scoop">Boston has maintained their position</a>, for the time being, of retaining White and Brown for the 2025-26 season. That has not stopped teams from throwing significant offers their way before Wednesday’s draft.</p><p>Outside of a multitude of teams calling about White, there has also been interest in Brown, who is entering the second year of a $300 million extension with the Celtics.

They know how great Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are, so I am sure they are getting some massive offers, some pretty big-time calls as well,” Charania said, before revealing that the Celtics’ preference still remains keeping both the stars. However, finances may be forcing their hand.</p><p>“This is a team that is still in the first apron, still a luxury tax team, still dealing with the uncertainty of Jayson Tatum’s status next season,” Charania continued. </p><p>The ESPN journalist expects the likes of Anfernee Simons and Sam Hauser to be more seriously considered for a trade. </p><p>Considering they would have dished out $500 million across wages and luxury tax next season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/celtics-offseason-trade-intel-after-jayson-tatum-injury-siegels-scoop">keeping their championship-winning core together was always improbable</a>. Previously, Charania had claimed that it would take an “insurmountable package” to trade either Jaylen Brown or Derrick White. </p><p>Sources told ClutchPoints back in May that the Celtics had zero intention of moving either player this offseason, per Siegel.</p><p>And while things may have slightly changed, Charania expressed doubt on whether any team would be willing to match Boston’s price threshold.</p><p>“Will a team match that price threshold that the Celtics have set around the league for Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to be able to get them? They are listening, but will a team get there?” he said.</p><p>Still, the fact that they are listening to offers means that the Celtics are determined to escape apron penalties. Whether that actually leads to bigger trade this offseason remains to be seen.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
