Jordan Walsh became close with Jaylen Brown this year & started wearing @741Performance: “Very strong-willed individual, definitely very opinionated, but when it came down to his core beliefs of giving back to the community and basketball being the main focus, I agreed.” pic.x.com/tavPQzhggQ – 2:40 PM

The Celtics CAN be done now. They’ve ducked the second apron. However, I imagine they’d still be open to dealing Hauser into someone’s mid-level. At that point, ducking the tax entirely is in play, especially if someone bowls you over for Derrick White and/or Jaylen Brown. – 7:00 PM

With Jrue Holiday to the Blazers for Anfernee Simons and 2 seconds, the next Celtics trade candidates to monitor are Kristaps Porzingis (expiring $30.7 million) and Sam Hauser (4 years, $45 million). Derrick White has drawn trade interest, but it’d take a massive haul to get him. – 12:39 AM

More on this storyline
Jordan Walsh on Joe Mazzulla: Uh, apparently Joe just did a jiu-jitsu match in Connecticut. And apparently—but he did a fight, an official fight. And we were talking about it, and I said, ‘If you lose this fight, you lose so much respect in the community, in the locker room, and everything.’ And so that was hilarious. Me, JB, and Joe were talking about it, and it was—it was Saturday, and I was like with Joe and JP, and I said, ‘What would you rather do on a Saturday than watch Joe get choked out on the mat? Like, what else would you do?’ And so everybody was like, ‘You’ve got a good point. We should definitely watch this.’ Unfortunately, I missed it, but I—I really—I haven’t seen him in the gym since, so it might be a bad sign. But I gotta definitely reach out to him and see how that went for sure.” -via YouTube / June 25, 2025
“The Celtics have a high price threshold for both of these players. They know how great Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are, so I am sure they are getting some massive offers, some pretty big-time calls as well,” Charania said, before revealing that the Celtics’ preference still remains keeping both the stars. However, finances may be forcing their hand. “This is a team that is still in the first apron, still a luxury tax team, still dealing with the uncertainty of Jayson Tatum’s status next season,” Charania continued. -via Clutch Points / June 25, 2025
Bobby Krivitsky: Shams on SVP tonight: “Will a team match that price threshold that the Celtics, I’m told, have set around the league for Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to be able to get them? They are listening, but will a team get there?” -via Bluesky / June 25, 2025
Monte Poole: Just gonna say: Steve Kerr is a huuuuuge fan of Celtics G Derrick White. Combo guard, switchable defender. Low maintenance. Of course the Warriors are engaged -via Bluesky / June 25, 2025
The Celtics, aiming to reduce their luxury tax bill for next season, are now listening to offers for both Brown and White, according to Shams Charania on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt. “It means that phone lines are ringing in Boston,” Charania said. “My understanding is that the Celtics are getting offers called on both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White.” -via Clutch Points / June 25, 2025
