In what is sure to be a painful offseason, there's one thing the Celtics absolutely cannot do … trade Derrick White
Seriously, it might be better to identify the teams that aren't interested in trading for White — the highest-level kind of glue guy who also happens to swat shots like a young Dennis Johnson and owns the franchise record for 3-pointers in a season — than figuring out which teams are nagging Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens about his availability. Advertisement Show me a team that isn't interested in trading for White, and I'll show you a team run by morons. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It's well-established that this is going to be a painful offseason for the Celtics because of their luxury-tax situation and the massive bill coming due. Stevens and Celtics ownership deserve all the credit in the world for keeping their 2024 championship core together and making one more run. That it came up short with the second-round loss to the Knicks is disappointing in a bunch of ways. It's disappointing, too, that this core can't stay together longer given the stunningly punitive tax and basketball penalties. I'll ask again: Why, exactly, did the Players Association agree to this collective bargaining agreement, which punishes teams built the right way (such as the Celtics) and is going to deeply affect the salaries of non-superstar veterans? Advertisement That second disappointment, as much as we tried to put it out of mind during the season, was inevitable. And so three weeks after the title defense ended with a 38-point Game 6 loss to the Knicks, most of us have reached the acceptance stage of Sports Grieving. We're resigned to change, realistic about what they might have to do, and intrigued how the savvy Stevens will go about it. The Celtics are more than $20 million over the second-apron tax threshold, and though there is some mystery about how they will proceed because of the pending ownership change, it would be stunning if they don't reset. Whether they do a full reset and get below the tax line altogether depends on Jrue Holiday seems the most likely, and that's a bummer. It's a shame that this quintessential Celtic will probably play just two years here. I wish he'd been a Celtic for life. But he'll turn 35 this month, and has two years, plus a player option for 2027-28, left on his contract at an average salary of $33.6 million. He should have appeal to any team that believes it's a piece or two away from true championship contention. Advertisement I've loathed most of the speculated trade packages that the Celtics could receive in return for certain players, and we probably should get used to that — the need to get under the second apron doesn't exactly give the Celtics leverage. Any trade return is going to be tolerable, at best. But I must acknowledge, the idea of Holiday — the anti-Kyrie — playing in Dallas with Cooper Flagg (he's from Maine, you know), Anthony Davis (for the 47 games he's healthy), and Klay Thompson (a favorite at this address) would be a decent outcome. Perhaps Kristaps Porzingis — who has played one fewer game (regular season and playoffs combined) for the Celtics in his two years than Bill Walton did over the same span here — could be moved, given he's in the final year of his contract ($30.7 million cap hit). And Sam Hauser, whose extension kicks in next season, probably goes, too. And we cannot forget that Al Horford and Luke Kornet are free agents. It's going to take some tricky cap navigation to bring either or both of them back. Jaylen Brown? It would be extremely difficult to trade someone who came through in the biggest moments two years ago and is The Celtics can't totally gut this, though. They can't have Jayson Tatum Advertisement The Celtics likely will keep Brown, and valuable players with team-friendly contracts — that's you, Payton Pritchard — aren't going anywhere. And they must keep White. Stevens must keep rebuffing those offers. I trust that he will. No one knows White's value more than he does. There's a reason every team with a clue covets him. There are very few like him. So let everyone else fight for the facsimiles. The original stays here. Chad Finn can be reached at

Martin hired as Rangers manager and handed a big task: Regain the Scottish title from Celtic
Associated Press Six months after being fired by Southampton, Russell Martin crossed the border to take over as manager of Scottish giant Rangers on Thursday and tasked with regaining the league title from fierce Glasgow rival Celtic. Martin guided Southampton to promotion to the Premier League last year but left in December following one win from the team's first 16 games. The 39-year-old Martin has secured a quick return to management at Rangers, going back to a club where he spent a half season on loan in 2018. 'From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history,' Martin said. 'Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of.' Rangers finished last season under the caretaker management of its former captain, Barry Ferguson, after firing Frenchman Philippe Clement in February. Appointing Martin — an Englishman who played international soccer for Scotland — is the latest big move by Rangers after a U.S.-based consortium, which includes an investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers, purchased a majority ownership stake in the club. Health insurance entrepreneur Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises led a consortium of investors to have bought a 51% stake. A new sporting director, Kevin Thelwell, officially began work at Rangers on Monday. Celtic's stranglehold on Scottish soccer has just continued with a 13th Premiership title in 14 seasons. Rangers won the only other title in that period, under Steven Gerrard in the 2020-21 season. Rangers and Celtic now have 55 Scottish league titles each. ___ AP soccer: recommended in this topic
