Derrick White: “It Would Be Cool To Get An Extension”

Derrick White has only been with the Boston Celtics for a year and a half, but he’s ready to be here for the foreseeable future and grow their “relationship”.

“I love being here in Boston. It would be cool to get an extension,” White said. “We’ll see what happens during that window, but I’ve loved my time in Boston so far and my focus right now is just on the season.”

With Marcus Smart gone, White is expected to get a larger role with the team. So much so that he wants an extension, which would be great for both sides.

His on-ball presence will be increased as White could be their primary point guard.

“I’m looking forward to it,” White said about the change in his role. “I’ll definitely have the ball in my hands, more of a playmaker role, and I’m looking forward to grow with the team and just get us in the right position each and every time.”

The 29-year-old played all 82 games last season averaging 12.4 points and 3.9 assists per game.

Jeff Bezos Has Zero Interesting In Purchasing The Boston Celtics

According to Nick Wingfield of The Information, the rumors Bill Simmons tried to spread on The Ringer in a recent podcast episode are absolutely untrue.

Many rumors and reports have emerged since the Grousbeck family publicly put the Boston Celtics up for sale. The biggest one was Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, wanting to purchase Boston’s franchise.

This rumor wasn’t totally out of the norm because Bezos was interested in the NFL’s Washington Commanders.

Jaylen Brown Done Celebrating: 'It's Back To Work'

After months of recharging the batteries and celebrating winning the 2024 NBA Championship, Jaylen Brown is ready to get back to work.

While some would want to savor the moment until forced to defend it, Brown wholeheartedly embraces it.

“Last year is over, to be honest. We celebrated, we had a good time. It’s been an awesome summer. I’ve been having a great summer, by the way. But it’s over with it,” Brown said. “Now we got the target on our back. Everybody’s trying to come after us and I’m like, ‘Come on.’ It’s back to work. And I’m looking forward to next season.”

The Finals MVP is ready to defend the championship, with the Boston Celtics being a heavy favorite to go back-to-back.
