That said, the Celtics now enter a huge offseason of uncertainty after losing to the New York Knicks in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Via The Lead: "If the Celtics keep their current roster, it will cost them $513 million next season, due to luxury tax."

Recently, Logan Murdock of The Ringer made an intriguing statement about White being an option for the Golden State Warriors.

Murdock (via The Zach Lowe Show): "Another guy that I think you should look at for the Warriors goin forward is Derrick White... I think that's something that the Warriors are looking at right now... That's somebody that you should look at as well."
