Celtics, Warriors Target Major Offseason Trades

The Boston Celtics face a crucial offseason amid financial constraints and the injury of star Jayson Tatum, which is likely to drive substantial roster changes. Multiple contenders, notably the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks, have shown interest in acquiring Celtics guard Derrick White, as Boston considers trades to cut payroll and amass future assets. The Warriors, now featuring Jimmy Butler alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, are pursuing win-now moves and are exploring trades for White, Jrue Holiday, or Kristaps Porzingis, even at the cost of young talent. Boston is weighing offers involving veterans like White and Holiday in exchange for draft picks and younger players, with negotiations involving Dallas and Golden State. Additionally, the Warriors are eyeing free agent Caris LeVert to strengthen their bench. Both teams are expected to make high-profile moves as they navigate salary cap pressures and evolving competitive timelines.
