US media imagines that the Lakers won two championships in 3 for 1: Hachimura Kone 1 first round, the Celtics asked for at least 5 first rounds

On June 29, when the Celtics traded consecutively to send Holiday and Porzingis away, they were still selling White. According to The Stein Line reporter Jake Fischer, the chips required by the Celtics trade White are similar to the Nets trading Bridges, that is, they require at least 5 first rounds, 1 first round swap and 1 second round. As for Yahoo Sports's plan to use Hachimura, Knector and White for the first round of 2031 pick, it is basically a waste of time. After failing to defend his title last season, the Celtics completely started the "money-saving" mode this summer due to Tatum's serious injury and reimbursement of the season. They sent Holiday and Porzingis away through transactions, saving more than $200 million in luxury taxes.

As for the remaining core of the Celtics, the future of Jaylen Brown and White has also caused various speculations, and they may not be in the future of the Celtics.

Now, according to The Stein Line reporter Jake Fischer, the Celtics have told "at least one opponent team" that the chips they asked for in the White trade were exposed, that is, they insisted on asking for a deal similar to the returns of the Nets who sent Bridges to the Knicks last year.

The Knicks traded Bridges in the summer of 2024, when the Knicks gave Boyan Bogdanovic, Diakit, Milton, 5 first-round picks, 1 first-round pick swap rights and 1 future second-round pick, and got Bridges, Diop, Wallet and 1 second-round pick.

Of course, the Celtics asked for too high chips. Although the magic deals were similar to Bain's chips, it was obviously difficult to sell them at a high price.

It is worth mentioning that Yahoo Sports had previously imagined that the Lakers had won White for 3 for 1, and the specific chips were for the Lakers to send Hachimura, Kneckett, and the first round pick in 2031, but obviously the Celtics would not be satisfied with this chip.
