Trading D White for Aaron Gordon or PJ Washington both seem like a downgrade talent wise.

Trading him for Jabari could work because he’s younger and cheaper and fits a position of need.

If we trade D White for a lateral move I’d rather just make minor additions and run it back.

From Chris Forsberg:

Let’s start this uncomfortable conversation with two unassailable facts: 

1. After seasons in which the Celtics have fallen short of expectations, Brad Stevens and his front office staff have rarely sat on their hands. Boston’s brass typically has made bold summer decisions aimed at thrusting the team closer to title contention. 
2. If the desired pathway forward is to keep the superstar tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown together, there are very few ways to make bold changes around them without moving off the other remaining pieces of the championship core.

Which leads us to Part 2 of our summer pathway series, which we’re dubbing an “uncomfortable middle road.”

With Tatum and Brown set to make a combined \(115.6 million and account for 70 percent of the salary cap next season, the spotlight falls on the three other players making more than a minimum salary: Derrick White (\)30.3 million), Sam Hauser (\(10.8 million), and Payton Pritchard (\)7.8 million).

No one wants to entertain the idea of moving on from what remains of Boston’s title core – especially just one year after bidding farewell to Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet. But the reality is that the Celtics don’t have many other ways to infuse talent, at least without utilizing their available exceptions and trying to navigate the luxury tax in the process. 

In Monday’s Part I, we investigated the “small tweaks” path, which could patch some holes that the playoffs exposed in this core.

Today, it’s time to get a little more uncomfortable.

Is a Hauser for Stewart trade feasible? 

I dont think the Pistons make that trade, even with some modifications. 

Trey Murphy is the ideal target, and worth packaging White. But New Orleans wants a ransom.

All I know is the Celtics never lost to Philly in the playoffs when they had Horford

People here keep laughing at the idea. But honestly, taking a shot on retreads for cheap like KP or RWiii are bostons best option.

I mean best case scenario KP is healthy in the playoffs and can give you 17:10 maybe win you a series. He did for golden state in the playin. 

We won 57 games without Tatum for most of it and no center rotation. So it won’t hurt us

Just want Part III, where Jaylen is traded
