5 for 1 trading plan! The Celtics’ salary pressure is too great, is the Mavericks introducing ace shooter?

The Boston Celtics have been out of the playoffs and they can also start thinking about rebuilding. The Celtics' situation is not ideal. They have too many injuries. Among them, Tatum has undergone Achilles tendon repair surgery and is expected to not play next season. Jaylen Brown has partially torn the meniscus and is considering surgery.
In addition, Holiday may not necessarily stay in the team, Horford may retire, and Porzingis also needs to be sent away. The total value of players in the Celtics' contract next season is US$223 million, far exceeding the second rich line.
The Celtics will pay $25 million in luxury tax for every extra $3 million spent next. For a team that does not have the ability to compete for the championship for the time being, such expenses are too high and the Celtics obviously cannot afford it, so they must adjust the lineup and reduce expenses.
At present, the Celtics are most likely to leave the team, their pitcher Derek White. White's annual salary next season is $28.1 million. If he can be sent away smoothly, it will really reduce the pressure on the Celtics.

The Dallas Mavericks are actually White's potential next home. US media CBS has already given a trading plan, that is, the Mavericks give away PJ-Washington, Martin, Powell, the 2029 Los Angeles Lakers first-round pick and 2032 Mavericks first-round pick, while the Celtics give away White is a 5-for-1 deal.

This deal is actually good. After all, the Mavericks are likely to choose Flag with the No. 1 pick, so Washington is useless. The Celtics cleared their salary space and got a forward like Washington to fight, which is also a good choice.
