According to previous news, the Boston Celtics, who were eliminated by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, may send some of the team's high-paying players this summer. American media CBS Sports also immediately proposed a transaction idea for everyone's reference and entertainment. According to CBS, the Celtics can trade with the Dallas Mavericks. The Celtics send backcourt player Derrick White and get PJ Washington, Caleb Martin, Dwight Powell, 2029 first-round picks and 2032 first-round picks.
In the NBA regular season this season, White played 76 games in the first 82 games, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. In the playoffs, White averaged 37.7 minutes in these 11 games, with averaging 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 46.3% from the field, 38.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 86.1% from free throws.
In the NBA regular season this season, Washington played 57 games in 82 games, averaging 32.2 minutes per game, averaging 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 45.3%, three-point shooting percentage 38.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 72.2%. After joining the Mavericks in the second half of the season, Martin played 14 games for the team in the NBA regular season, averaging 19.6 minutes per game, averaging 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 38.9%, three-point shooting percentage 25%, and free throw shooting percentage 62.5%. The Mavericks need White's backcourt players, especially if Kyrie Irving needs a period of absence next season, White's value will also become very high. Considering that Anthony Davis will be in the fourth position for a long time, Washington's position in the team will also become a bit shaky. For the Celtics, White's contract is broken into several small contracts, which will also be conducive to the team's subsequent further transactions. Personally, this deal is not impossible, but the problem is that the Mavericks have paid too much chips to get White. Changing one of the first round picks with two second round picks may be a more reasonable plan.
