Is Derrick White a trade candidate for the Boston Celtics?
Is Derrick White a trade candidate for the Boston Celtics?
The Boston Celtics face a difficult summer. Brad Stevens is expected to make some changes to the current rotation as he looks to help the franchise duck under the second luxury tax apron. Boston cannot justify such an expensive roster if they're not expecting to compete next season. As such, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Sam Hauser have all been floated as potential departures in the coming months.
Of course, everyone outside of Jayson Tatum are likely available for the right price, and that includes the ever-impressive Derrick White. The former San Antonio Spurs guard was arguably the Celtics third-best player this past season and has become a genuine fan-favorite over the past two years.
In a June 5 episode of the "How 'Bout Them Celtics?" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance explored the possibility of Boston trading away White, and what the team could ask for in return for the player who led all guards for total blocks this past season.

Red Sox hit 5 home runs and overcome 2 by Judge in 11-7 win over Yankees
Carlos Narváez put Boston ahead with a three-run homer against his former team, and the Red Sox overcame two home runs by Aaron Judge in an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday night. Rafael Devers also went deep as Boston equaled a season high with five longballs to take two of three games at Yankee Stadium in the first series this season between the longtime rivals. Narváez signed with the Yankees in 2015 and broke into the big leagues with them last year, getting into six games before New York traded him to Boston in December. The rookie catcher gave the Red Sox a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning by lifting a fastball from Carlos Rodón (8-4) into the left-field seats. Judge hit a pair of two-run homers for his fourth multihomer game this season and the 43rd of his career. He connected in the first off rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) and again in the ninth, ending the night with a .396 batting average.

Alex Cora Sends Message After Red Sox's Historic Walk-Off Against Angels
Alex Cora Sends Message After Red Sox's Historic Walk-Off Against Angels originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Angels (28-33) looked like they were on their way to sweeping the Boston Red Sox (30-34) at Fenway Park after jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning on Wednesday. However, their pitching staff wasn't up to the task. Advertisement The Red Sox tallied five runs in the bottom of the frame thanks to RBI singles by right fielder Wilyer Abreu and first baseman Abraham Toro, a RBI walk by third baseman Marcelo Mayer, and a two-run double by shortstop David Hamilton. Los Angeles followed up with three more runs in the second before Boston tied the game in the fourth with an Abreu sacrifice fly and a RBI single by catcher Carlos Narváez. Each squad scored two more runs, setting up a walkoff two-run homer by Red Sox center fielder Cedannae Rafaela in the bottom of the ninth that tucked just inside of the right field pole. The ball traveled 308 feet, which is the shortest walkoff home run that went outside the park since the advent of Statcast in 2015, via Sarah Langs. Boston manager Alex Cora sounded off about it postgame, via MassLive's Christopher Smith. Boston Red Sox right fielder Wilyer Abreu (52) and Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora (13).© Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports 'To say we needed this one is an understatement," he said. The Red Sox are just 3-7 in their past 10 games including Wednesday's win. Advertisement "Red Sox players yell 'pesky' whenever a ball is hit down the right field line," Smith added. "Of course, from their angle in the dugout, they typically don't know if it's fair or foul off the bat." Next up for Boston is a road series vs. the New York Yankees (37-22), while Los Angeles will host the Seattle Mariners (32-27).
