What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Chris Forsberg @ChrisForsberg_
Despite a dip in his 3-point shooting this season, Derrick White shot 48% on corner 3s last year.
Celtics are likely banking that, like Richardson, his numbers will rebound with better looks. – 1:44 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
League sources tell MassLive that Celtics will take Derrick White into Evan Fournier TPE in this trade. They will also create a new TPE for Josh Richardson’s outgoing salary ($11.6 million) – 1:43 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Told everyone Derrick White could be had. – 1:42 PM
Chris Forsberg @ChrisForsberg_
Celtics can take Derrick White into the Evan Fournier trade exception and add some time to use that.
Celtics remain out of the tax by including Romeo Langford in the deal. – 1:40 PM
Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
Full trade, according to a league source: Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, 2022 first-round pick protected 1-4, for Derrick White. – 1:40 PM
Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
derrick white is a perfect fit in boston – 1:40 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Because Derrick White fits into the Fournier exception, Celtics should generate a new 11.6M one for Richardson – 1:40 PM

3 takeaways from Spurs’ 105-92 loss to Cavs:
It’s 3-point roller-coaster ride for Derrick White & Co.
Zach Collins throws caution to the wind with quick return to his physical style of play.
There’s a lot for Cavs fans to love these days.

“He plays hard, smart, gets after it. We’ll welcome him to the team, get to know him, and hopefully he helps us win some games.” – Derrick White on the Spurs trading for Tomas Satoransky today – 9:29 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
“We missed good looks. I think everybody had good looks.” – Derrick White on the Spurs shooting 8/33 from 3PT tonight at Cleveland
Derrick says the players just need to keep taking those shots to break out of a tough shooting night – 9:28 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Derrick White has 17 points after drilling his 2nd three.
That Cavs 23 point lead is down to 7 – 8:57 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
And here’s what Derrick White had to say about trade rumors on social media:
“It’s kind of crazy, especially nowadays because everybody is kind of on the trading block, according to Twitter.” – 6:32 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Beyond feeling comfortable with Josh Richardson taking on more backup playmaking duties, part of the reason the Celtics are open to trading Dennis Schroder without getting a PG back is that they expect there to be veterans available on the buyout market, sources tell @celticsblog9:43 AM
Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report
Sources: #Celtics are actively shopping Dennis Schroder. Brad Stevens would like to add more shooting and – if Josh Richardson isn’t dealt – has an ancillary ball handler with size who can assume some of Schroder’s responsibilities. – 5:04 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
On Celtics trade talks and potentially giving up Dennis Schroder in a deal:
Boston is very confident in simply switching Josh Richardson to Schroder’s on-ball backup PG duties, per a source. Celtics don’t feel they have to get back a PG for Schroder. – 11:37 AM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
New: League sources tell MassLive that the Lakers and Jazz are showing trade interest in Josh Richardson with Talen Horton-Tucker + pick being offered as part of a LA package. More: masslive.com/celtics/2022/0…10:21 AM

Is this a good D1 seasons record .?? pic.twitter.com/gWoUJdYDr45:37 PM

More on this storyline

Adam Himmelsbach: Hearing that there are 3 or 4 teams that remain interested in acquiring Dennis Schroder. One source says it’s just about 50/50 as to whether something gets done. Cs appear to have no plans to trade Josh Richardson, source says. -via Twitter @AdamHimmelsbach / February 10, 2022
Utah is shopping the expiring contract of Joe Ingles ($13 million) in the hopes of landing a defensive minded wing. There’s interest in Boston’s Josh Richardson but, as noted above, the resurgent Celtics aren’t interested in dumping players, particularly not Richardson, who has emerged as a valued member of Udoka’s rotation. -via Sports Illustrated / February 9, 2022
Keith Smith: As far as Josh Richardson goes…the Celtics have been getting lots of calls, but nothing has gotten close. Boston doesn’t want to move Richardson in a deal that isn’t an upgrade this season and next season. Lakers called, but conversation didn’t go very far, per a source. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / February 8, 2022
