Scal: \u2018No way in hell’ C’s trade Derrick White this offseason<\/a> originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston<\/a><\/p>\n

Brad Stevens and the Boston Celtics will have to make some difficult decisions this offseason. Will trading Derrick White be one of them?<\/p>\n

White has massive trade value<\/a> entering a summer in which the C\u2019s will look to shed salary and get under the second apron of the luxury tax. It would hurt to part ways with the beloved All-Defensive guard, but Boston could get a haul for him if it opts to undergo a full offseason reboot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, if you ask Celtics analyst Brian Scalabrine, C\u2019s fans need not worry about a potential White trade. When Celtics insider Chris Forsberg pointed out that White was one of the team\u2019s most valuable trade assets, Scalabrine emphatically shut down the discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to ask that question. You know the answer,\u201d Scalabrine said on NBC Sports Boston\u2019s \u201cOff C\u2019season special. \u201cCome on, Chris. I mean, we could pretend or anything like that. We\u2019ve got other things to talk about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way in hell Derrick White is not on this team next year, the next five years. We just know. Come on.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s no guarantee White will be with the Celtics next season, Scalabrine\u2019s strong statement illustrates just how shocking it would be to see him traded.<\/p>\n

White has blossomed into an outstanding two-way player since the Celtics pried him from the San Antonio Spurs in 2022. He was a key contributor throughout Boston\u2019s 2024 championship run, and last season he notched career-highs in points (16.4) and rebounds per game (4.5) while breaking the franchise\u2019s single-season record<\/a> for 3-pointers made.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the episode, Yahoo Sports\u2019 Kevin O\u2019Connor mentioned that teams have already made offers for White and 2024 NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown. Boston would prefer not to trade either player, but it is at least listening to offers for anyone not named Jayson Tatum.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors have already reportedly expressed interest<\/a> in trading for White, who has a $28.1 million salary for next season. Boston must shed roughly $20 million in salary to get under the second apron.<\/p>\n
