He's gonna earn himself a lot of money. I just hope he's willing to take what we can offer him in order to stay.

DWhite has a higher playoff career high in points as a Celtic than Kyrie Irving, Antoine Walker, Kevin Garnett, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Tommy Heinsohn, and Dave Cowens.

I just realized josh richardson is apparently on the heat now. Nobody talks about him when the heat crowd complain about injuries.

The pick swap could do better at some point. TBD.

2. Jokic .318
3. Allen .290
4. Edwards .284
5. Towns .280
6. Davis .244
7. Wagner .237
8. Gobert .236
9. Tatum .228
10. Dort .222
VORP

4. Edwards .5
5. White .5
6. Harden .5
7. Davis .4

I reckon the Spurs and Nuggets will be going hard for him. Celtics will need to pony up.

Do the Nuggets have the cap room?
Philly might want to make a run at him.

Most of those guys, however, were more prolific rebounders.

If the Celtics keep White, that pick swap could easily expire unused, all Wembyana greatness notwithstanding.

Note that White and Jrue were both traded away by the teams that drafted them in support of tanking.
In both cases, the tanking part worked.
Philly just botched most things afterwards. The jury is of course still out on San Antonio.

I'm sure he really is a good guy, but this commercial is just corny to me. A whole commercial where you do good deeds in front of a camera and get praised for it is too much.
