I think our resident D-League experts say that he does back the the Ants if we cut him loose...unless a trade can be made.
Will he just be a practice player or will Spurs deactivate someone?
Or, will the Spurs be allowed to cut him and send him to Austin or does he go back to Mad Ants?
Like to see him go to Toros in case Johnson or Langford get called away.

Spurs sign G Richardson
January 20, 2008
SAN ANTONIO (TICKER) -- The San Antonio Spurs on Sunday re-signed swingman Jeremy Richardson, who originally signed with the team on January 10.
Richardson, 23, has played in three games for the Spurs, averaging 1.7 points.
The 6-7, 195-pound Richardson was signed by the Memphis Grizzlies on December 20 but did not score a point in three games with Grizzlies before being waived on January 7.
Prior to joining the Grizzlies, he played with Fort Wayne of the NBA's D-League, averaging a league-high 28.5 points in eight contests.

I was surprised to hear this because he won't get any minutes unless a trade is made or one of the wings get hurt.
How many 10 day contracts can you sign? Maybe they just use him for insurance for the rodeo road trip then cut him loose?
Two 10-days, then the team has to sign him for the rest of the season or let him go. I figure they could go either way with him since he would be signed more for next season than this one.
How is he going to get time to prove he's worth keeping around?
Everyone's healthy.
We're talking about practice.
I see...
He is going to start tomorrow.
Talking about long 3s, any chance we can prize Linas Kleiza away from Denver?
He's long, he can shoot, he was a power player so he's tough and a good rebounder... sounds like just the guy we need to me!
Are you serious?
Didn't he score 41 points a few days ago? I doubt Denver is going to trade him after showing them he can do that.
Ya. Also, Manu is probably going to start as well.
That sounds like a lot of players starting . . .
Manu and Richardson in...Tony, Tim...and bruce? thats 5. by my count
So we're going to start a smallball lineup with Jeremy Richardson involved... where are you getting this from?
As for Kleiza, just looked it up, and he's on his rookie contract until the end of 08-09, so no way we have a shot at him. He'd fit like a glove here though, I'm sure of that. I've been high on the kid since following him last year when he was on my fantasy team and finished the season strong.
Waste of time with this kid IMO.
He looks like another James White.
Pop is going to start a super small ball lineup? I guess if you are going to start an off the wall small ball lineup, it'd be against Charlotte.
That lineup is so crazy I can't say I believe it but I wouldn't be surprised. The Que Gee info is usually on target.
benching Finley and Oberto for a 10 day contract guy and a guy that plays his best off the bench?
Just doesn't seem real.
We'll find out in 11 hours.
It just doesn't seem like something pop would do.
Hes not big on games before February, but this is something he would do in October to "get Manu ready" and to preview a player, ala sitting Vaughn and Parker to play the crap out of Darius Washington.
I just can't believe Jeremy Richardson would dress, let alone start. Whos gonna not dress? Elson?
I could go for that, but is Richardson that good? He just looks to me like in another long line of D League SFs in that hes got athleticism, but, eh...
Que Gee usually knows what he's talking about. I'm not suprised Pop would go super small against Charlotte. Though kind of surprised it would be Richardson/Manu rather than someone else with Manu. Richardson must be really impressive in practice. Or they must really be disappointed in the effort by Oberto/Elson/Bonner/Horry lately.
I'm guessing in that scenario, Bowen would guard GWallace, which is what he would do anyway. So it's not that bad matchup-wise.
Interesting.
We'll see! Thanks for the info, Que Gee.
Wow.
He must be. To go from non active to starter in a matter of 2 games
I'm not saying I don't believe it. I'm just a little taken aback by it.
