White is definitely a significant upgrade and better fit with our current team, but due to the age difference and giving the Celtics a lottery pick...the deal better include some future 1sts coming along back with us and possibly even Sam Houser or something.

Rj plus 9 for white is the best deal...as much as we overpaying

It's the best deal but we're overpaying? Then why do it?

I was saying RJ + 9 for White + one of their picks (28 or 32)

Shams very recently: "The Celtics' phone lines are still ringing on Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. They've got a very high price threshold. So if someone blows them away, you have to listen on that. Unless someone does that, their preference is to keep both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Teams are calling feverishly trying to get their hands on one of these two guys, but again the preference is to keep them."

In other words. RJ and 9 has no chance of getting White. 1. It's not enough. 2. It'd be outbid.

I might be crazy but RJ + 9 is an overpayment, Derrick White is good but not that good

Yeah, just wait and see what happens to his defence when he isn't playing with Brown, Tatum, Horford/Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday. NBA Finals 2024 his entire job was standing 10ft away from any player and guarding a spot on the floor so Luka couldn't drive while Tatum or Brown were used as the primary defender.

**** that its RJ and two seconds or a future lottery protected pick. I would not give up that much for white since I haven't seen what this team can really do with B.I. If we had made the playoffs last year and made some decent noise I would be willing to pay more. Cause who knows if this team doesn't work out and we got to break it up a bit. White will be older by then and I don't think we would get the same value back.

I would take John Collins and a pick for RJ

He comes off the books next year and he can back up Jak.

Yah I love Sexton. He played a lot like an undersized two guard when he came into the league but has made a lot of strides with his decision making ability, he's comfortably a PG now.

He's a perfect fit in Minnesota as their Conley replacement, but I think is salary is a bit too high for anything to happen there. Wonder who his other suitors could be

If he can play point I'm trading RJ for him. But not sure Jazz would want RJ, but Sexton with play making is a beast.

Agreed. If we’re outbid, so be it. No skin off mine…(ours)….Id rather keep the talented local kid who’ll rep us ‘til he dies.

If you can get White for RJ and 9 you run away like a bandit.

People saying that is an overpay clearly don't watch White play.

White is like Jrue Holiday Prime, better shooting, less passing.

He would have a bigger impact on the Raps more so than KD would have.

Whats clear is any guy Masai goes after will be a two way player. Seems like that is his thesis moving forward.
