White, 27, is averaging 14.4 points and 5.6 assists per game in 49 games (48 starts) for the Spurs this season. He has averaged 11.6 points in his four-plus seasons in San Antonio since being selected No. 29 overall in the 2017 draft.
Richardson, 28, is averaging 9.7 points a game in 44 appearances off the bench this season, his first in Boston. He has averaged 12.1 points a game for his seven-year career, spending his first four seasons in Miami. He then spent a season in Philadelphia and one in Dallas before being traded to the Celtics in July.
Langford, 22, is a third-year player averaging 4.7 points and 16.5 minutes in 44 appearances (five starts) this season.
The report comes a little more than an hour before the NBA trade deadline at 3 p.m. ET.
