34 points and 3 hats! Uduka wants Derek White, and the Rockets visit the Celtics Supermarket this summer?

The ideal shooting guard in Uduka's mind is like this: dare to fight physically, be able to play without the ball, be able to seize the opportunity to shoot at an open position, be able to pass the ball, be able to defend well, be able to read the game, and not have bad shooting choices and defensive misses. Obviously Jaylen Green is not the ideal type of Uduka. He is struggling in the current Rockets system and has been in the midst of trading rumors.

Uduka's old club, the Celtics, did not give up. They stubbornly tied the series score to 2-3 in the absence of Tatum. The highest score for fans after the game was not Jaylen Brown, the team's top score, but Drett White. In this key game, he scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, 9 of 16 shots, 7 of 13 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, plus-minus value +26.

White is the Celtics' winning hero, and he is also the defender Uduka wants.

Uduka publicly praised Derek White when coaching with the Celtics: he performed well in scoring, passing, defending and dominating the ball, and he was always ready for the game.

Uduka left the Celtics and went to the Rockets. White said he was a very good head coach and he could change Houston's team culture. White was right. Uduka made the Rockets, who were used to losing, into an iron army. This season, he became a big dark horse in the league and once forced the favorite Warriors to the desperate situation. "clutchpoints" previously revealed that Uduka likes Derek White very much and considers taking him to the Rockets.

White is 1.93 tall and 2.02 wingspan, which is about the same as Jaylen Green, but he does not have excellent athleticism and explosiveness. He is now 30 years old. Despite this, White fits Uduka's requirements more than Jaylen Green.

White has rich playoff experience. He has won the championship and was selected for the best defensive second team. This season's playoffs, he averaged 18.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 attack, shooting percentage of 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.3%, and free throw percentage of 88%. White currently signed a four-year, $118 million contract renewal with the Celtics, with an annual salary of $28.1 million next season, which is cheaper than Jaylen Green, and the contract expires in 2028.

White's technical characteristics are very suitable for partnering with Alperen Sengon and Amen, and the latter two are the core of the Rockets selected by Uduka.

The Rockets may be visiting the Celtics Supermarket this summer.

Tatum is seriously injured and may be absent for a long time. The Celtics face a lot of salary pressure next season and they may trade to send some important players away to save money.

The famous reporter Shams said that Tatum successfully completed the Achilles tendon repair surgery and he will face a long recovery period. Regardless of whether the Celtics can go far this season or whether Tatum is injured, they plan to adjust their roster during the offseason. The Celtics' salary plus luxury tax hit $500 million, and Tatum may be out for more than a year. They are under a lot of pressure.

Chief Spears said that if the Celtics decide to trade core players, the Rockets and the Spurs may take action.

Some Rockets fans support the trade and come to White, and many fans hope to trade Jaylen Greene chips for Jaylen Brown.

In this game, he scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, made 7 of 19 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 8 free throws. Jaylen Brown is also a player that Uduka likes.

Jaylen Brown is 1.98 meters tall at the age of 28. He averaged 22.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1 steal per game in the playoffs this season, with a shooting percentage of 44.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. Next season, Jaylen Brown is as capable as Booker but not a top star, and at the same time has a large contract.
