Boston Celtics are holding out for a hefty return if they trade Derrick White, reportedly seeking a package comparable to the Mikal Bridges deal, which included multiple first-round picks.
Boston Celtics have already seen movement in their roster this offseason, but more changes could be on the horizon—if a team is willing to pay a steep price for Derrick White.

According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Celtics have been fielding calls about the veteran guard.
However, Boston reportedly told at least one interested team that it would take a “Mikal Bridges type” package to consider moving White.
“Speaking of the Knicks: Sources say Boston told at least one rival team that it would have insisted on a ‘Mikal Bridges-type' package to part with Derrick White, league sources say,” Fischer reported, per ClutchPoints.
The Brooklyn Nets received five first-round picks, a first-round pick swap, and additional assets from the New York Knicks in the Bridges trade
“The Celtics have certainly received no shortage of inbound trade calls on both White and Jaylen Brown in recent days, but nothing got serious on either front,” Fischer added.
White played 76 games last season, averaging 16.4 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 38.4% from beyond the arc.
