I've liked him since pretty much day 1 with the Celtics. He usually makes good quick decisions and plays unselfishly.

And then where would he be with even just a season-ending injury going into his 33rd year--and expecting a sizable new, long-term contract?

The dude was smart to take what he could in a situation and location he and his family want to be in. Even if he missed out big, he and his family wouldn't be much better off with another $100m.

PS His agent might not have minded his immediate share rather than risking that for another year.

In this day and age you don't see players often leave money on the table like White has if he had waited till free agency. Great signing!

White will opt out in 28' and get 3 year 100mil contract to finish out his career.

Bucket list achieved:

- grow over 6ft in high school
- make his high school team
- play college ball
- become an NBA pro
- win an NBA ring(s)
- Make over 300mil in his career (it will happen)

Gotta secure the bag as soon as you're eligible to do so. Lock in that $.

Especially if you're being offered the kind of money that white is signing for.

Most guys secure the bag.

It often doesn't work out to well to bet on yourself (Grant williams, Dennis schroder, etc.).plus those guys were offered much less $ than white, so more likely to try and bet on themself for a bigger pay day..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Signed his extension too fast for my #KeepWhiteInGreen campaign to take off. Don't worry Derrick, I'll reuse all the terrible puns I prepared this time for your next contract.

Massive overpay.

I haven’t bought a jersey in years. Buying a DWhite one. What a selfless guy. We are lucky to have him.
