Derrick White Rumors

Bobby Manning on Celtics’ untouchables: Everybody else beyond Brown and Tatum is under discussion at this point Cyro Asseo: If you had to say somebody that if people were buying a jersey, whose jersey would you be fine buying knowing that they're going to be around for the next foreseeable future? Bobby Manning: I feel pretty good about Jaylen Brown after the season that he's had here where he's shown signs of being one of the best players in the league. And so with his contract situation, with he and Jayson Tatum having the amicable relationship that they do here, being willing to make it work with each other for the sake of winning and their commitment to him ultimately, they've had a lot of opportunities to break that duo up in more dire circumstances than this and they've held firm. And I know Brad Stevens obviously in a different cap environment, but throughout his tenure and even his coaching days leading both of those guys into the players that they become here, his vision for this team has been that if we have those two guys, we can figure it out around them and make this roster work. And that's why they signed them to the contracts that they did. It's why that they've accepted that they're going to have a balance when it comes to the top of this roster and this two stars. And then beyond that, like they're going to try to compliment them as best as they can. And Derrick White's been a big part of that. I don't think White's untouchable into the future. I think he's a guy that you do have discussions about given how valuable he is and where he's at in his career pushing 30. Same deal with Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser and others down the line. I think everybody else beyond Jaylen and Jayson is under discussion at this point as you try to reshape this core into the future here.

Most of Tatum’s injury rehabilitation has taken place away from the public eye, but his workout Monday morning offered a peek behind the curtains. At Seaholm High School, where the Celtics held shootaround before their game against the Detroit Pistons, several assistant coaches, including Tony Dobbins, put Tatum through a series of on-court drills. He flashed his typical outside touch and showcased the physical progress he has made over the eight months since rupturing his Achilles last spring. Tatum did shooting drills simulating coming off screens. He worked on his pull-up jump shots. He drove through contact from Dobbins, who was playing the role of defender. Tatum rose for a few dunks during the workout as well. He was not available for comment afterward, but teammate Derrick White said it has been “amazing to see” Tatum’s progress.

Derrick White on 2008 Celtics vs 2024 Celtics: I think we win. Paul Pierce: We have We have more post threats. They have more shooting. White: I think it might be interesting to see like if you guys kind of go size down like with us. Pierce: But that was our best lineup. Our best lineup was me and James Posey. KG at the five and then either Ray, House or Rondo closing it out. But like with y'all, we will probably play House because he can stretch the floor.
