On June 12, Beijing time, according to NBA Marc Stein and Sam Amico, the Celtics sought to renew Derrick White's contract early this offseason. Under the collective bargaining agreement, White could sign up to a four-year, $126 million early extension this summer. Prior to this, this season, the Green Army completed a contract extension with Holiday for 4 years and 135 million.

White's current contract is four years, $70 million, expiring in the summer of 2025, with one year and $18.82 million remaining. With White's performance, the annual salary of less than 20 million is simply too fragrant. Even after the contract extension, White's average salary is only $31.5 million, which is not a premium. For comparison, Jordan Poole's contract is four years and $140 million.

White and Holiday are not high contracts on their own, but together they are exaggerated. The leader also wrote before that Brown has signed a five-year $304 million contract, Boshen has signed a two-year $60 million contract, and Tatum can sign a five-year $315 million super cap salary this summer. The Celtics start the five-man team, and the contract will total $940 million.

In the final 51 seconds of G2 of the finals, the Mavericks trailed the Celtics 98-103. Washington dunked on a fast break, and if he dunked, the margin was only 3 points. Jaylen Brown and White both hit the goal, and the two teamed up to cover Washington's dunk to seal the win. Green coach Mazzulla praised: "That was sick! ”

Looking at the replay in slow motion, some fans questioned Brown's push for a foul. Mavericks coach Kidd responded: "It looks like a foul, but the referee's whistle didn't blow, so it's not a foul." White said of the key block: "I'm not afraid of being blocked, I always get the block done, and I'm confident in my defensive ability!" ”

In the first two games of the finals, White averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 42.3% from the field, 38.9% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. He and Holiday formed a backcourt double lock, able to defend and shoot, limiting Irving to only 35% shooting and 0% three-point shooting!

White averaged 17.6 points, 4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs, shooting 46.5% from the field, 40.4% from three-point range and 90.6% from the free throw line. White averaged 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 46.1% from the field, 39.6% from three-point range and 90.1% from the free throw line.

Another statistic: In this year's playoffs, White and Holiday limited opposing guards to 39.2 percent shooting. In the Eastern Conference G4, White scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks in 7 of 14, becoming the 10th player in NBA playoff history to have 4 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks in a single game. The most capping defender in the game! Who is for and who is against?

In the 2017 NBA Draft, White was selected by the Spurs with the 29th pick in the first round. That year's champion was Fultz, the top eye was Brother Qiu, and Tanhua was Tatum. In his rookie season, White averaged only 3.2 points and 0.5 assists per game and spent most of his time in the development league. At that time, no one could have imagined that he would be able to shine on the stage of the finals seven years later.

When did White join Celtic? On February 10, 2022, the Green Army sent Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, a 2022 first-round pick, a 2028 first-round swap, and a 4-for-1 trade to get Derrick White. Xiaobai entered the finals with the team that season, becoming the first player in the past 45 years to score 20+ on the G1 bench in the finals.

Last question: $126 million in 4 years, do you think it's worth a little white?
