The all-round enhanced version of Van Jordan? The Rockets can consider quoting for Celtics backcourt stars?

According to previous news, Houston Rockets' starting backcourt star Fred VanVleet suffered a torn and severe injury to the ACL. He will undergo surgery to repair his knee. If nothing unexpected happens, he will face a season reimbursement in the new season. After the news was announced, Raptors Republic reporter Esfandiar Baraheni also talked about the Rockets' solution to the problem on his social media.

Baraheni said: There may not be any defender in the market who can have excellent emergency stop jump shots, pick-and-roll skills and defensive wisdom as Van Vleet. Although the abilities of Malik Monk and Coby White are not very good, their characteristics are not exactly in line with the Rockets' needs. If there is a hint of possibility, I think the Rockets should be willing to piece together the high chips the Boston Celtics demanded for for Derrick White. In my opinion, White is the kind of ideal player who can help the Rockets win this season. His ability on both offense and defense is very balanced, and he also has high stability. His previous performance in the playoffs is obvious to everyone. Of course, if the Celtics are willing to send White away, the Rockets will also have to pay a huge price.

In the NBA regular season last 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%. White's contract with the Celtics will not expire until the summer of 2028. He will pay $28.1 million next season, and his salary will exceed $30 million in the following seasons. In fact, White and VanVleet's salary are not much different. As long as the Celtics are willing to accept VanVleet's contract, the Rockets are willing to add young players or future draft picks to this deal that can satisfy the Celtics. This deal can theoretically be achieved. After getting White, the Rockets' overall competitiveness may even be further improved on the previous basis. But the Celtics also need to make plans for the team's future. White's contract is a very high-quality contract. Will they really consider sending him away?
