New Report on Celtics' Jaylen Brown, Derrick White Trade Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since trading Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, the Boston Celtics have had a pretty quiet offseason. They have signed their draft picks on top of signing Luka Garza and Josh Minott, but haven't made any significant moves.

No one wants to part with White, but the Celtics still need to cut more salary, and White’s value is likely never to be higher coming off the best season of his career.

The Boston Celtics got their offseason off to a fast start when they traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. By making those trades, Brad Stevens took the Celtics under the second luxury tax apron, giving the franchise additional flexibility as they head toward free agency and beyond.
