I think Carlisle wanted the guy here and gave him every chance to succeed. My dude was given the ball with a live dribble more than anyone else but Luka...probably not as much as Brunson, either, but a lot.
But, if Richardson opts in and isn't traded, I am sure they will subtly suggest that it was the last staff's fault.
I may have phrased my questions wrongly, pal. I'm thinking scheme and coaches preference more than "fault". Do Nico and JKidd see more of a role JRich than what he was able to carve out last season? It seemed like JRich wasn't happy with his minutes. Does he get hopeful about getting a shot to impress a different coach? Those questions are more in line of what I was thinking.
