In case people forgot, Derrick didn’t know he was on the trade block. Pop tells him at their hotel in Atlanta, he immediately gets on a plane to Boston, joins the team the very next day, and helps knock off the MVP that evening. Celtics had won six straight before the trade and win 16 of the next 19 with White, only losing to teams once coached by Jim Carrey (Pistons, Pacers, Mavericks).

Ohh this was back when he was still playing with his 50lb weighted wig. It’s nice to see the training pay off this season. 👏👏👏

Romeo had all of the tools to be a solid player. Toss in the pick swap. Toss in the that Josh Richardson was performing pretty well. I really didn’t know about the trade at the time. It felt like a lot. If you fast foward to now, maybe the pick swap stings down the line. The new CBA is brutal for the Celtics. Regardless, I now think it was an incredible trade. White is such a smart player. He is athletic but half the time he doesn’t even need to use it.

God I would love to have rob back on our team some how in a limited role (like the rob before the season ending injury)

Please take good care of buffalo for us. God knows SA could use him right now, but I have to take heart in that he’s in a better place. 🥲
