Overview

• Derrick White said on his podcast that he loves playing in Boston and wants to remain with the Celtics for more years.
• White described his latest contract extension as a simple process and is under a multi-year deal reported by multiple outlets as four years.
• The guard is coming off career-best production, including 16.4 points per game and a franchise-record 265 made three-pointers last season.
• Boston has undergone major changes, trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, losing veteran depth in free agency, shifting to new ownership, and planning for Jayson Tatum’s Achilles rehab.
• Rival teams have inquired about Jaylen Brown and White, but reporting indicates Boston set a very high price and prefers to keep both.
