Trading Derrick White would require a ‘Desmond Bane-plus’ offer in return, former NBA executive says

Although the Celtics have reportedly rebuffed trade offers for Derrick White so far, there is still some chatter about what it would take to snag him away from Boston.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, who had a stint as assistant general manager of the Nets several years ago, the package that Orlando sent in exchange for Desmond Bane would not be enough for the Celtics to deal White.

Orlando gave up Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, four first round picks, and a pick swap for Bane.

“I think it would have to be a Desmond Bane-plus type offer,” Marks said of the possibility of trading White during a recent appearance on NBC Sports Boston.
