If there is a suitable offer in, the Celtics might send one of the power stars away?

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics will consider listening to trade offers for Jaylen Brown and Derrick White this summer. Shams said: Are other teams actively making a offer, or are calling to ask about the possible deal between Jaylen Brown and Derek White? 100% yes. As far as I understand, the Celtics are not inclined to trade them, but if they receive a big offer, they have to make a comprehensive trade-off on the current situation. Until the draft and the free market open, the Celtics are expected to receive offers for several core players, including Jaylen and White, who will also evaluate whether such a deal is worthy from the perspectives of their value on the team and their subsequent contracts.

In the NBA regular season this season, White played 76 games in the first 82 games, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. In the playoffs, White played 11 times in total, with averaging 37.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 38.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 86.1%.

In the NBA regular season this season, Brown made a total of 63 appearances in 82 games, averaging 34.3 minutes per game, averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.4%. In the playoffs, Brown played 11 games in total, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 22.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 75.8%.

Brown's contract with the team will not expire until the summer of 2029. His salary will exceed $50 million in the next four years. By the 2027-28 season, his salary will reach $61.01 million; by the 2028-29 season, his salary will reach $64.95 million. White's contract with the Celtics will not expire until the summer of 2028, and he will earn $28.1 million next season, and his salary will exceed $30 million in the following seasons. From the perspective of cost-effectiveness alone, Brown's contract is not bad, but it is not too cost-effective. As for White, this contract is definitely a great contract. I wonder if the Celtics will actually send one of the two away.
