With a week to go before the deadline for a contract extension, Derrick White and the Boston Celtics have been talking. White is still under contract for next season in addition to this coming one, so this is not like a Grant Williams thing.
After a very solid 2022-23 regular season and post season, White's stock is quite high. Complicating matters though is the fact the Celtics juist gave up a ton in a trade for another point guard in Jrue Holiday and have zero desire to just let the former Bucks' champion walk this coming summer.
