Despite the trade speculation during the offseason, Derrick White explained he remained calm and grounded throughout the offseason chaos.

Moving Simons makes sense for such an end, as he is a talented young if faulted player on a large expiring deal.

The Cavs -- the Eastern Conference favorites in July (+245 on DraftKings) -- have essentially turned Ty Jerome and Isaac Okoro into Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance Jr. The new players certainly come with more medical risks (though Jerome is no slouch in that department), but they bring decidedly different looks to Cleveland.

Derrick White was one of many Celtics who heard their names in trade rumors this offseason as Brad Stevens retooled the roster after Jayson Tatum’s Achilles tear. Second apron penalties led to trades of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis last month,

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, O'Bryant wore only jersey No. 26 and put up 1.5 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.

Even before Jayson Tatum limped off the court with a torn Achilles tendon during the Celtics’ Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the New York Knicks, Brad Stevens knew big changes would be on tap for the franchise this offseason.
