I still remember the idiotic and horrible takes from the second half of the 2022 season when we traded for him.
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Derrick White has the highest approval rating of anyone on the team, at least on this board.

Re: Welcome Derrick White - 2022-23 All Defensive Team
Remember Bubble Gordon Hayward and how he was playing well before he sprained his ankle in the Sixers series? I think we're getting a better version of that in DWhite.
Bubble Gordo, per 100 possessions (7 games): 25.8 pts, 10.6 rebs, 5.3 asts, 0.6 stls, 0.4 blks, 48/33/88 splits
Bald Derrick, per 100 possessions (24 games): 24.8 pts, 6.0 rebs, 7.7 asts, 1.9 stls, 1.8 blks, 49/43/87 splits
Jrue would be Smart (who was awesome in the Raptors series) and KP would be Kemba but hopefully healthier and would give us a weapon we haven't had before. Horford even at his age is better than Theis. I'll take PP/Hauser/Kornet/Queta/Brissett over our 2020 scrubbies.

We're 1/3 into the season. Celtics have an elite two-way player as their (non-AllStar) 5th guy in his prime.

Don't forget the comedians in the summer of 2022, who wanted to trade Brown and White for Durant.

KD's scoring 30.9 and shooting 47% from the three. White is excellent and Jaylen has improved his decision-making but there's levels to this.

The force feed of those takes made the board a real buzz-killah.

I 100% agree with you for once. There absolutely are levels.
There is the 21-6 level. And then there is the 14-14 level too.

Pulling team accomplishments out of context? Two can play that game. 2 rings vs. 0 rings.

He wasn't talking about past accomplishments, the Durant with 2 Rings was 4 years before the Brown and White trade was an option. He was talking about accomplishments post the availability.

It's just your common elite role player whose role is to turn the team into elite status.

I hope we can sign D white to a long term deal this summer. It’s going be at least $30 million a year, not sure how we can do it but they need to make it happen.

They'll have to re-sign Jrue first but I have no doubt that they'll get something done with him to keep him here as well. It will likely come at another player's expense (and I think we all know who that player is) if this all gets too costly for Wyc though.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

If White isn't an all-star this year the current selection system is completely broken.

They shoulda paid the man earlier in the year, well now they're gonna have to pay him a lot more if he manages to squeak into an all-star team.

He won't make the all-star team, he doesn't have the gaudy scoring stats needed. Doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to, though.

sadly the All star game doesn't care about defense.. White's defense >>> all the rest of Eastern guards.
