[Bill Simmons] Derrick White * Leads NBA in net rating (+14.5) * Shooting: 50-42-88% * On pace for 100+ blocks, 100+ steals + 200+ made 3s (never been done) * Celts: 22-4 when he plays * Got him for Langford, 1 expiring, late 2022 1st (Blake Wesley) + a top-1 protected 2028 swap — NOT BAD

   I never know why Popo traded this guy away.

   Imagine him alongside with Wemby now. They should have trusted this guy but thank God they didn’t

   Also the ’28 swap option was likely just to unload Romeo as he was a negative asset and injured at the time of the trade + $5M guaranteed the following season. Celts wanted to get under the luxury and he had to go.

   So really it was just the 25th pick in ’22 (Wesley) + Josh Richardson expiring for DWhite on a 4 year deal.
