Derrick White trade looking worse and worse every day

When they made that trade nobody thought the Celtics would get to the point of being 2 games away from a championship. How can they ever regret a move that got them that close?

Agreed. Boston got what they wanted, spurs got what they wanted, but it didn't mean either team would win a chip because of it. Boston comes close, maybe next year when their starters play better and Derrick can actually hit the side of a barn.

[CGD]

Not really, Tatum hasn't played well but Boston is getting nothing off their bench, White has been horrible.

Tonight's lead was lost when Boston went to the bench.

Boston can't play their starters the entire game!

I agree, Tatum has played poorly. Full stop.

Smart killed them with those early fouls, forcing earlier bench rotations. And, yes, it’s an elimination game: the stars should be ready to play heavy heavy minutes. Not excuses.

[Mr. Body]

Boston doesnt have much talent.

[CGD]

^ they need to upgrade the Smart position, which has been the case for a while now.

[DAF86]

because hes been down right awful. They weren't trading for this

I'm sure they a pretty happy how the trade turned out, regardless of how awful White has been in the last few games.

They don't have a bench. They get very little from their bench.

[DAF86]

At least Richardson doesn't hang his head and pout like White does after literally any missed shot. White is soft af, JRich is not

Yeah, JRich wouldn't be hanging his head because he would be watching from home with the rest of the Celtics if the trade never happened.

im sure they're ex static

White was not responsible for the turnaround. He had a nice three games after the birth of his son but is back to playing poorly like he did during the regular season.

He looks weak out there and Boston fans on their board are saying they don't even like seeing him in the game.

He takes those little quick steps but still seems a bit too slow to really make a defensive difference and forget about his shot making as he's a big liability there. His game is ugly.

He isn't the main responsable, but he defenitely helped. Without White's contributions vs Miami, the Celtics probably wouldn't even be here.

[MultiTroll]

Should have been subbed out a long time ago.
Ime Popovich getting ass owned by Phil Kerr.

[DAF86]

Wouldn't you be making the NBA finals when nobody expected you to?

[slick'81]

that has nothing tondo with white sucking ass.

[DAF86]

^ they need to upgrade the Smart position, which has been the case for a while now.

They have tried that with Irving and Walker and it failed miserably.

Why the are folks talking as if the Boston Celtics didn't just make it all they way up to the NBA finals?

[DAF86]

that has nothing tondo with white sucking ass.

Of course not. It has to do with the opposite.

[slick'81]

im sorry this is happening to you

Go read the Boston Celtic board. See how happy they are with the trade.

[DAF86]

im sorry this is happening to you

What is happening to me?

[DAF86]

Go read the Boston Celtic board. See how happy they are with the trade.

Of course they aren't going to be happy now. They are under the influence of emotional violence. Just like ST likes to talk about everything Spurs related from Pop to the Coyote after losses. But once they cool down and reflect on the move they will realize how it was one of the reasons it made them get this far.

No they won't.

White has not been good outside a few games for them. Bad trade for them. Spurs are lucky to have moved away from White.

Beware of trades with the Spurs because they hardly ever give anything of value in a trade.

[KingKev]

Klay Thompson looking like D White lol

[DAF86]

No they won't.

If White sucked so much with the Celtics, how the did they get this far with him getting starters level minutes?

[rogcl1]

No they won't.

You mean like the Kawhi to Toronto trade which resulted in an NBA le?

[Leetonidas]

Yeah, JRich wouldn't be hanging his head because he would be watching from home with the rest of the Celtics if the trade never happened.

thinking Derrick White is the difference between being a finals team and going home early

[slick'81]

White not even touching the floor in crunch time
