I feel like Richardson's performance here was less about the coaching staff putting him in a subpar position, but rather he just lacks the skillset to succeed next to Luka. He's a poor 3pt shooter. He doesn't really create his own shot. His defense at times was lackluster.
So if he can't shoot, defend, or pass, he doesn't really deserve a spot here. Trading for him was unfortunately a massive mistake.
I think the biggest problem was that he did not try hard. Not sure why, because this was a contract year and he was given more leash than almost anybody else. Maybe the lack of veteran accountability was the problem.
Obviously whether he gets traded depends on the trade. I don´t see another Delon Wright scenario, meaning giving up future assets just for the sake of trading him away for capspace. They´ll probably rather try to see whether a new coach and system can make him a valuable player. If he gets traded it will be to match salaries in a biggger move or to acquire an "equally bad" player on a similar contract.
