The Boston Celtics have already traded away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis.
They've also received calls about Derrick White and Jaylen Brown, per many reports.
One of the White offers they received was reportedly laughable, though.
The Ringer's Zach Lowe reported this: “There were reports that the Raptors offered the No. 9 pick for Derrick White. I’m told that’s true, but that it happened a month and a half ago after Jayson Tatum got hurt, and Boston laughed at that offer and said, ‘We need way more than No. 9 for Derrick White.’”

That's certainly fair from the Celtics perspective.
The Raptors picked Collin Murray-Boyles out of South Carolina at the ninth spot. He's not exactly Derrick White.
It seems like Toronto would've known that such an offer wouldn't get a deal done, either. The recently departed Masai Ujiri usually seemed like he knew what he was doing.
Maybe he was hoping for a counter offer of some sort, but it doesn't seem to have come.
Boston seems fine holding onto White and Brown through this season without Tatum (Achilles).
It'd probably take a humongous offer to get the Celtics to trade away a key piece of their core at this point. Otherwise, they might just laugh.
