Do you remember where you were when you head that Derrick White was being traded to the Boston Celtics?
We all know that Derrick White was traded to the Celtics for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, the 2022 first-round pick that conveyed as Blake Wesley, and the right to swap first-round picks with Boston in 2028.
But did you know where Derrick White was the moment he found out he was being traded to Boston?
Getting traded is crazy. We’re in Atlanta. Pop walks into the room and he’s like: “Hey…uh we traded you.” And he doesn’t say anything. I’m like, “To where?” and he was like, “We wouldn’t f*** you, we sent you to Boston.” And I’m like, “Alright, yeah, that’s cool.” I was like, “Yeah, I’ll fit well there.” But it was also like, “Well, what do I do?” (Assistant Athletic Trainer) Brendan Bowman, he texts me. He’s like, “You want me to get a bottle?” I’m like, “Yes.” So me and B start playing dominoes and drinking.”
White has since won a title with the Bean Town’s best and remains an integral part of their program. With Jayson Tatum out for the season, his role may increase while the team attempts to keep their heads above water until their superstar is back in shape.
