The Boston Celtics should not trade away point guard Derrick White
The Boston Celtics should not trade away point guard Derrick White, but his game and contract are so valuable, an offer might come along the Celtics would seriously need to consider. The challenge for the Celtics front office is one that needs to balance the importance of what the University of Colorado alum brings to a team when they are trying to contend for titles again with the value and savings moving off his deal might bring the team. The dual conundrums of an unprecedented payroll and tax bill coming due for Boston in the same season they will need to play for all or most of the regular season without star forward Jayson Tatum (due to an Achilles injury) makes for a tough set of problems for the team's front office to solve.

Joe Mazzulla's Blunt Message to Celtics Player Surfaces on Friday
Joe Mazzulla's Blunt Message to Celtics Player Surfaces on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ever since he took over as the Boston Celtics head coach, Joe Mazzulla has run things his way. Even though the Celtics are coming off a second-round elimination, this has earned them their 18th title as a franchise. Advertisement Mazzula's coaching philosophy also includes his distrust of rookies. Celtics rookie Baylor Scheierman revealed as such when he first started playing under Mazzulla during the 2024-25 season. Scheierman ended the regular season with a fair amount of optimism surrounding his future. However, he starts his NBA career a little slow, as Mazzulla didn't really trusting him until the end of the season.

During an exclusive interview on "The Garden Report," Scheierman revealed a candid conversation with Mazzulla during the Celtics' training camp in 2024. Advertisement 'Listen, I don't really like rookies,' Mazzulla told Scheierman. 'So you're gonna have to battle this year, and that's kind of how it is. 'And I was like, 'alright, that's alright.'' For what it's worth, it's not unheard of that coaches are apprehensive about playing rookies. Especially ones that are coaching teams with title hopes. Scheierman clearly took Mazzulla's words to heart and tried to improve his game to prove himself. In due time, Mazzulla started giving him more time when the team was undermanned, and Scheierman thrived in it, showing his skills as a shooter and a passer. With Jayson Tatum out indefinitely, Scheierman's role might get even bigger next season.
