Six Celtics are on extensions signed with Boston after they arrived; deals for Brown, Jrue Holiday and Payton Pritchard have each signed through 2028. Expect that trend to continue. In addition to Tatum, I’m hearing it’s very likely that Sam Hauser and Derrick White will join them. Hauser has one year left for the minimum, on a team option, and will be extension-eligible this summer; he’s about to get more expensive, but Boston sees him as a keeper. One possible cap shenanigan would be to decline Hauser’s team option for 2024-25 and re-sign him for lower money and more years than in an extension that started in 2025-26. Doing so would increase the Celtics’ tax penalty in 2024-25 but lessen the impact of the repeater penalty and manage the second apron in the out years. Source: New York Times

Derrick White is an NBA Champion now, and people are always talking about how he’s such a nice guy.
Well I’m here to say that is completely, 100% true.
Here’s a story about a trip he made to a very special amusement park in San Antonio 🧵 pic.twitter.com/3yUUcPjefq – 10:24 AM

Derrick White, on everything the Celtics have gone through preparing them for this moment, and winning the title: “They kept saying we weren’t battle-tested. What, did the last two years mean nothing?” – 11:48 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
The Celtics were able to trade for Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and Al Horford since Brad Stevens became president of basketball operations three Junes ago. – 11:41 PM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Two Jays with a Finals MVP case + Brad Stevens made trades to put Al Horford, Derrick White, Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday around them = Title No. 18.

My only first half question is why did ESPN show Derrick White’s face getting smushed into wood twice in the same montage? We saw it and got to wince at it again seconds later. – 9:55 PM
Tom Petrini @RealTomPetrini
As soon as the Celtics got Derrick White I raved about the culture fit because he’s a hockey player at point guard.
He’s genuineuly willing to get his face smashed in to accomplish the team goal.
May be missing a tooth, didn’t miss a play. What a dude. pic.twitter.com/T38B3GfmEi – 9:41 PM

Derrick White gets a bloody mouth diving on the floor. He stays in the game. … He’s a hockey player.
(Well, he’s watched a hockey game.) – 9:37 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Derrick White’s face hit the floor something terrible. And he still has better luck than Grant Williams, who had his whole head stepped on by Joel Embiid last year – 9:35 PM
Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
Hauser thought he was going in for Derrick White’s broken face but White waved him back to the bench and said my broken face is ok – 9:35 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Derrick White bleading after Dereck Lively came crashing down on top of him chasing a loose ball. Bounced White’s head off the parquet. – 9:34 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Derrick White may have lost a tooth right there. Definitely is bleeding, at least, after smacking his face into the floor diving for that loose ball. – 9:34 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Derrick White got busted open it looks like diving for the ball on that Jaylen Brown transition layup. – 9:33 PM

SUPER SUB

Jay King @ByJayKing
What a response by the Celtics after the Mavericks made their run. Hauser steal. Fast-break bucket. Tatum steal. Fast-break bucket. Boston up 28-18 after the first quarter despite only shooting 44 percent so far. The defense has largely been great except for some buckets against… – 9:05 PM

This drill tonight is always part of Sam Hauser’s pregame routine. Last week I asked him if it’s getting him ready to play basketball or to be a ballboy at Wimbledon.
He paused for a second, smiled and said, “Both.” pic.twitter.com/HSJh2qMnpt – 6:47 PM
