"It is a proven commodity that Jaylen and Jayson and Derrick White are a championship trio. They're under contract, and it's big contracts, absolutely.

Windhorst added that the team needs to add more trustworthy rotation players, especially at the big man positions.

Despite the trade, White indicated he maintains positive feelings toward his former team and head coach Gregg Popovich.
"Off the court he shows you he's human and cares about you as a human," White said.
White even selected his former team to win the championship series, saying "Spurs in 7."
White also praised Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla for his unique basketball intellect and dismissed media portrayals.
"He's a great basketball mind. He thinks the game like no one I've really been around.
All the stories of him just being crazy just how he is every single day. It's not for the media, nothing," White said.
