What is Derrick White's trade value to the Boston Celtics?
What is Derrick White's trade value to the Boston Celtics after the Memphis Grizzlies trade of Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic? Whatever the offer, it had better be a huge one, given the Colorado native has a boatload of value to his current team. Meaning it would likely have to be on par or even better than the four first round picks and solid salary coming back in the Bane deal.
But is there really a ball club out there that would spend that sort of draft capital on a player like White? Or is the market for such players more context dependent than the swap that landed the Griz guard in Orlando might seem to suggest to us?
The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Magic see massive NBA Finals odds boost after Tyrese Haliburton's injury
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. It's never too early to look forward to the 2026 NBA Finals, but Sunday had massive implications for next year. Coming off their title-clinching Game 7 win, the Thunder are a heavy early favorite to go back-to-back, sitting at +220 at ESPN BET, but they are hardly the story. The Orlando Magic saw their hopes to win the NBA Finals boosted when they traded for guard Desmond Bane but, guard Tyrese Haliburton's expected torn Achilles is another contender in the eastern conference down a star. The Magic were as high as 40/1 to win the NBA Finals prior to the Bane trade, dropping to 22/1, and now down to 15/1 after the Haliburton injury. The Pacers were second favorites to win the title coming into Sunday, only to see their odds plummet from +850 to 40/1 by Monday morning. 3 Tyrese Haliburton had an Achilles injury in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Getty Images Those two weren't the only movers on Sunday as the Rockets acquired Kevin Durant and shot up from 18/1 to +800 to win the Finals. 2026 NBA Finals odds Thunder +220 Rockets +800 Cavaliers +800 Knicks +850 Timberwolves 10/1 Magic 22/1 Celtics 13/1 Lakers 14/1 Nuggets 16/1 Clippers 22/1 Warriors 22/1 Spurs 25/1 Mavericks 33/1 76ers 33/1 Pacers 40/1 Pistons 40/1 Heat 50/1 Bucks 66/1 Hawks 100/1 Grizzlies 100/1 Suns 100/1 Kings 100/1 Raptors 100/1 Bulls 200/1 Pelicans 300/1 Nets 500/1 Hornets 500/1 Trail Blazers 500/1 Wizards 500/1 Jazz 500/1 Odds provided by ESPN BET 3 Desmond Bane was traded to the Magic. Getty Images The Knicks and Cavaliers also saw a slight boost moving from 10/1 to +850 and +800 respectively as the East is weakened a bit with the injury. The Minnesota Timberwolves were downgraded a bit with the Durant trade becoming official, moving from 10/1 to 14/1 after the trade. San Antonio, long expected to be in the market for Durant, was 18/1 to win the finals but dropped dramatically to 25/1. Dallas, also expected to be in the market for Durant, dropped from 22/1 to 33/1 after failing to acquire the star scorer. 3 Kevin Durant had massive implications on next year for several teams. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Betting on the NBA? But no matter what happens this summer, Oklahoma City is all but assured to be the 2026 title favorite. If their odds hold, the Thunder will be the biggest preseason favorite since the 2017-18 Warriors were -187, according to Sports Odds History.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 22 - Ed Sadowski (1947-48)
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the first of four people to wear the No. 22, Boston big man alum Ed Sadowski. After ending his college career at Seton Hall, Sadowski joined the (defunct) Toronto Huskies in in their (and the BAA's) first-ever season of existence. The Johnstown, Pennsylvania native also played for the (also defunct) Cleveland Rebels before he was drafted by Boston in the Rebels dispersal draft in 1947. His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he was dealt to the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors in 1948. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Sadowski wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 19.4 points and 1.6 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
