The Golden State Warriors raid of the Boston Celtics this offseason goes beyond their pursuit of veteran center Al Horford, with the franchise reportedly holding interest in a blockbuster trade for Derrick White.
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer on Wednesday, "Golden State definitely called for Derrick White too" as the Celtics looked to manage their enormous payroll in the wake of Jayson Tatum's devastating torn achilles and a second-round playoff exit against the New York Knicks.

White would have been a perfect back court partner for Stephen Curry, with his versatile skillset on both ends proving so valuable in Boston's success over recent years.
