The Boston Celtics got their offseason off to a fast start when they traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. By making those trades, Brad Stevens took the Celtics under the second luxury tax apron, giving the franchise additional flexibility as they head toward free agency and beyond.

The Toronto Raptors reportedly made an offer for Derrick White before the NBA draft, but the Boston Celtics weren't biting.

The Boston Celtics reportedly were only going to trade veteran guard Derrick White for a historic haul. Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reported Saturday that the Celtics told "at least one rival team" that it insisted on a landing a trade package for White similar to what the Brooklyn Nets received last offseason from the New York Knicks for Mikal Bridges.
