Seems abundantly clear to me that the MBT made the choice to give up Curry, a valuable contributor, for Richardson in an effort to get better defensively, and that they were hoping he'd give them a better version of what Wright failed to give them last season.
I'm sure Carlisle was part of that thinking, and I'm sure he wanted to make it work with every particle of his being. I think he simply gave Richardson any/all possible chances to rise to the expectations. But, it simply can't be denied that Richardson has not been a solution this season.
Maybe he'll be better next season, but I kind of doubt it.
