This week, an NBA<\/a> insider revealed that the Golden State Warriors<\/a> likely would need to part with multiple future first-round picks in a rumored Derrick White trade.<\/p>\n

The Boston Celtics are expected to make a couple of notable trades this summer to slash payroll. If they retain their current team, they could have a total payroll cost \u2014 with taxes \u2014 next season that surpasses $500 million. So, trading some of their top role players is not a matter of if but when.<\/p>\n

One player that could potentially be on the move is talented veteran guard Derrick White. And the Warriors have been linked to a potential trade<\/a> in recent days. During an appearance on \u201cArbella\u2019s Early Edition<\/a>,\u201d Yahoo Sports NBA insider Kevin O\u2019Connor detailed what it might take to pry White away from the Celtics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Golden State Warriors, if they were to call up and offer a Mikal Bridges-esque package \u2014 four first-round draft picks \u2014 for Derrick White, you gotta listen,\u201d O\u2019Connor said.<\/p>\n

It likely may not cost four first-round picks to trade for White. O\u2019Connor\u2019s idea is an offer the Celtics have to seriously consider. But a deal that may require three future first-rounders is possible. And it is a risk Golden State might take.<\/p>\n

The Warriors are completely in win-now mode. They are going to ride out the next two seasons with top stars Stephen Curry<\/a>, Draymond Green<\/a>, and Jimmy Butler<\/a>. Then rebuild when all three finish out their deals at the same time. They will be a contender in the West next season if they can stay healthy. But they need good pieces around their new Big Three.<\/p>\n

Derrick White could be a very nice asset in Golden State as a 3-and-D specialist. He could start in the backcourt alongside Curry and push Brandin Podziemski to the bench, where he is a much better fit at this part of his career. It is a move that would strengthen the Warriors as they chase another title over the next two seasons.<\/p>\n
