During the 2024-25 NBA season with the Celtics, White played in 76 games. He averaged 16.4 points per game to go along with 4.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 0.9 steals. White also shot 44.2 percent from the floor and 38.4 percent from three-point range.

Wade is spot on. For $60 million a season, Butler should be able to take over and play at the level of a franchise player when needed. In the second-round series, Butler played like a glue guy or high-level role player, and he simply needs to be more.
