Quentin Richardson Speculation

The Minny GM has come out and said that Quentin Richardson could very well be traded again by the end of this week.

On Tuesday, Kahn said there was a chance Richardson will be moved before the end of the week.

Danny Ainge has said he hopes to wrap up the Daniels signing this week. I just wonder if there is a 3 way trade brewing between the Celtics, Pacers & Wolves. The Pacers have $58 million tied up for 2010. Richardson could bring much needed cap relief because he is an expiring contract.

A lot of possibilities, Murphy, Ford, Rubio, TA, Scal, Richardson, Daniels etc.

Might be fun to come up with a 3 way trade that would work for everyone.

When you compare what Richardson costs and what Tony Allen costs, I think Indiania would prefer Allen over Richardson, unless Indiania wants to dump a ton of salary Minnesotas way.

For the C's to match Richardson salary to head to Indiania just to pick up Daniels would be too costly for the C's, but I'd be interested an seeing what everyone comes up with.

That would be the reason. I could see them dumping Murphy or Ford epecially if Rubio is involved.

It's really not that farfetched I mean think about it, why else would there be a market for Q Richardson and his $9.3 million expiring deal if a team wasn't looking to dump salary?

I don't think Minny would be willing to give up Rubio for any of those players.

Rubio wouldn't and can't. Any trade involving Q Rich (unless it's been 30 or 90 days, can't remember) can not have anyone else moving with him from Minnesota. So at the most it'd just be a salary dump for Indiana, which could make it work.
