- Does the front office reboot mean another chance for JRich in Dallas?
- Do Nico and Kidd decide that JRich just suffered from not fitting with Rick?
- Do we think he looks like he could be a player for another coach and that covid/scheme/coach were the problems last season?
- Is JRich set on leaving because of his experience with the team last season? If the Mavs want him, is the relationship salvageable?
I do not feel like there's much of a chance Richardson's troubles were due to Carlisle, whose detractors complained because he refused to stop playing Richardson so much by the end of the season. 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.
