I really don't understand, what is not clear. Richardson is the goal. I realize Philly will not trade him for Wright+18. But Detroit might trade Kennard for Wright+18 and Philly might prefer Kennard than Richardson. Or if you want it the other way around - Detroit might trade Kennard for Richardson (saves Philly money and he is a better shooter). But what does a rebuilding Detroit really need from one year rental Richardson. So perhaps Detroit trades Richardson for #18. Can they get a better pick for him?
So you are still not going to get Richardson in that deal. Dallas sending out only 18 + Wright is not going to net Richardson, period. You can disagree which is fine. I don't see why Detroit just sends Philly Kennard for nothing. Nothing in that trade makes sense as its completely 1-sided towards Dallas. It's just not going to happen.
