Derrick White Traded to the Celtics

White departs Spurs for Boston in deadline deal

Celtics acquire former first-round pick

In a major move just hours before the NBA trade deadline, the San Antonio Spurs traded Derrick White to the Boston Celtics for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, and a 2022 first-round pick.

White, a former first-round pick, has reportedly been a target of the Celtics for some time. He is a versatile guard who can play both point guard and shooting guard. He is also a good defender and has a solid three-point shot.

The Celtics are hoping that White can help them make a deep playoff run this season. They currently hold the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they have been looking for another playmaker to help their offense.

The Spurs, meanwhile, are rebuilding and are looking to accumulate young talent. Richardson is a young, athletic wing who has shown some potential. Langford is a former first-round pick who has struggled to find his footing in the NBA.
