The Dallas Mavericks are finalizing trading G/F Josh Richardson to the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic
 @Stadium. Richardson is exercising his $11.6 million player option for the 2021-22 season for the deal.

Got posted in the rumours thread, but think it deserves its own thread

so are we keeping him, or are we redirecting him to someone else?

Not a clue yet. Feels like this could all be leading to something bigger, as Richardson really does not fit a need (unless Smart / Romeo / Nesmith are on the move)

Last bit of the Hayward exception perhaps?  Surprising!

Definitely feels like something big about to go down.  Crazy season. 

[Surferdad]

My head is spinning. Like Richardson but we didn't’ need another wing.

He seems redundant to our roster to my untrained eye. You think another move is coming?

[footey]

Hollinger speculates that Celtics determined they were going to be priced out of the Fournier negotiations, so this is their Plan B.

I was afraid of this. Have been concerned that Fournier unlikely to return to Boston, probably wants more featured role, more money.

[keevsnick]

My guess is this means Fournier is gone. Richardson plays the same position, will come cheaper this year (11.8 million), and is an expiring which leaves open a path to get cap space next year. As long as the deal is executed in the next 48 hours Richardson's salary fits into the hayward TPE.

I think Fournier won’t be sticking around.

yeah unless the plan is to unload Nesmith and Langford, I don't see where he gets minutes.

Or maybe Nesmith and Langford don't get minutes....lol who knows at this point. 

Right now we have Dunn and Richardson and both seem poor fits, and then what about EF?

[Rikibellevie]

It is big move day for us! This mean probably bye bye to Fournier. I prefer 1Y11M Richardson than 4Y85M for Fournier. So did Brad. Another move to preserve cap for next summer.

For me it is Dunn which is not complementary. Or the Ball for Smart and filler is réal.

Ball/Pritchard/Dunn
Richardson/Langford/Javonte ?
Brown/Nesmith
Tatum/Parker/Grant
Timelord/Horford/Brown

Not bad to wait next summer or the next one.

Maybe he's our new starting pg

Has to be.. These moves don’t make sense, yet...

[blink]

is Richardson good enough to start?

Smart / Richardson / Brown / Tatum / Al?
