Clippers trade Richardson to Timberwolves

[Pistons < Spurs]

The Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement in principle to trade guard Quentin Richardson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, Mark Madsen and Craig Smith, leagues sources said Monday.

The trade is expected to be finalized later Monday. The Clippers had previously been in negotiations with free agent guards Ramon Sessions and Allen Iverson.

Thats a good trade for Clips, IMO.

[Pistons < Spurs]

how many times is Q gonna get traded?

from NY to Memphis for Darko

from Memphis to Clippers for Z Randolph

and now to Minnesota? jeez...

[DPG21920]

Telfair is not a bad back up and Craig Smith is productive and they keep the expiring contracts except for Telfair who has a player option for ~2M next year.

My favorite was Wally Szerbiak. That guy seemed to get traded every other day for a while.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Mark Madsen is going back to LA. He was a fan favorite there with the Lakers. I'm sure they will be selling crazy amounts of season tickets now that he is back.

Naw, it just seemed that way because his expiring contract was so valuable.

Naw, it just seemed that way because his expiring contract was so valuable.

And he was so unvaluable.

Clippers are getting legit, believe it now, or eat crow later.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

One season under D'antoni made Richardson go from a rugged wing man who played tough defense and gets to the rim to a journeyman one dimensional three point chucker. Since that 2005 season his career has been a joke.

[DPG21920]

lol, every year people say that about the Clippers. Maybe they do ok, but it will be short lived more than likely.

True, I thought they would be a legit contender in 2007, they were returning the exact team they had in 2006 that almost made the WCF. Instead they inexplicably got worse.

Clippers future > Blazers and Thunder.

All hop aboard the Clip train, it's taking off to dynasty city.

Believe it.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Clippers future > Thunder.

Don't speak too soon, Mark Madsen is back in LA LA land, that means the return of the fucking MAD DOG, Durant can't handle that shit, MAD DOG gonna eat that 60 pound bitch the fuck up.

[spurs opsman]

I like the move. Clippers are easily going to make the playoffs ahead of the Rockets and Suns for the 7th/8th seed, inspite of Dunleavy.

I'll jump on that train. Call me a masochist, but I've always liked the Clips.

[La Peace]

Gordon Thornton and Griffin are the TRUTH

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Gordon Thornton and Griffin are the TRUTH


green Westbrook and Durant are better.

[Morg1411]

green Westbrook and Durant are better.

That's probably true. But ever since we lost the Sonics to Oklahoma, I've lived by a strict "FUCK THE THUNDER" motto.

[La Peace]

green Westbrook and Durant are better.
I am not too high on Green but Westy and Durant are much better right now.

But Im tellin yall, I've been to the games. Eric Gordon is serious business.

EG is legit I agree. Future all star.

[NBA Junkie]

The trade likely signals that Ricky Rubio may be comng over this season if the Wolves were willing to part with SeaBass, who was their only PG option, other than Jonny Flynn.

Solid move for Minnesota.

[IronMexican]

The title should be changed to, "Madsen Back in LA". That's the real story here.

That's actually a good point. He was a rebounding and post up beast from either SG/SF who was able to hit a 3. Now he thinks he is Dell Curry. Sucks, he used to be enjoyable to watch.
