Derrick White has become one of the Boston Celtics’ most dependable pieces since arriving in a trade from the San Antonio Spurs back in 2022. The versatile guard has grown into an elite two-way player, earning All-Defensive Team honors while helping Boston to a championship in 2024.

White would join a Rockets club that, coming off a 52-30 run in 2024-25, has already brought in Kevin Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Clint Capela this summer, while re-signing incumbents Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr., Jae'Sean Tate, Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday to new deals.

It would hurt to see the Boston Celtics trade Derrick White, but that's not stopping all of the talk out there about it.
