Boston Celtics trade analysis: Derrick White, Daniel Theis, what does it all mean?
The Boston Celtics were very active at the trade deadline. Making three deals (listed below). John Karalis and Tom Westerholm break down the two big trades (4:00), how Derrick White fits in Boston, what bringing Theis in means (15:00), and how this shapes Boston's future (31:12)... including the reason why the 2028 pick swap wasn't random (35:00).
Celtics-Spurs: Boston gets Derrick White. San Antonio gets Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, 2022 1st round pick (protected 1-4), 1st round swap rights in 2028. According to a league source, the 2028 pick is top 1 protected.

What grade would you give the Celtics deadline moves?
Finally don't have to keep seeing PJ Dozier and BolBol on the injury report every night 😂
Theis was an awesome screen setter/defender when he was here compared to Enes, plus he brings a boat load of good chemistry back to the roster as well as a big w/some floor spacing shooting 3s. I think our already brutal defense just went deeper into the bench with these trades.
All the people crying about having to give up stuff need to remember how the season began. How they felt about Schroeder two weeks ago. How they felt about the Moses Brown trade. How they felt about about Danny getting nothing for trying to commit a robbery. How they talked about Romeo. And how bad the bench has been even in the win streak.
Have been waiting! Pumped for show
daniel is back !!! i just watch White & i like him
I'm fine with moving Denis and glad we got rid of Enes. But Josh was really growing on me.
Boston got two solid defenders who can shoot and make plays (Theis with his screen setting). Losing the draft picks is unfortunate, but they still have Pritchard and Nesmith in their development pipeline along with two draft-and-stash players. They could sign a couple of current G-League guys too if they want to add any other young players to develop.
Yes John can't wait
So Glad the Screener and great Locker Room Guy Theis is back. Tatum must be very happy now too
LETSS GOOO JOHN ☘️☘️
Celtics upgraded their bench and stayed under the tax, a win.
To Tom's point about White at the free throw line breaking the zone, lets also not forget about how automatic Theis became from that range in Boston.
White could use to make the 'do a little more aerodynamic but I like the trades for immediate present and future. And the guys we lost didn't go to EConf teams, so they won't kill us directly.
Need another wing, imo. Sure Grant will get more minutes but still need another wing/SF
John Tom the Top Pod Duo
I like the moves, and I certainly think some buyout guys are coming.
They definitely right about the defensive lineup of smart, white, jb. Jt and rob being almost impossible to score on! Which players does the opposition attack there? Those are literally 5 very good, switchable players on the defensive end.
We are being dramatic about the 2028 swap, its just one single pick. We wont die.
Wonder if we will see these guys in Friday nights game?
