However, Richardson was traded to the Utah Jazz last week.
Via UtahJazz.com: “The Utah Jazz have acquired forward KJ Martin, guard Josh Richardson, and a future second-round pick from the Detroit Pistons, as well as a future second-round pick and cash considerations from the Miami Heat, sending forward P.J. Tucker to Toronto, in a five-team trade that also involved the Golden State Warriors.”
That said, the Jazz will not be keeping the 31-year-old, as they announced that they have waived him following the deal.
Via Evan Sidery of Forbes: “The Jazz officially waived Josh Richardson after acquiring him at the trade deadline.
Richardson will draw interest from contending teams on a veteran’s minimum contract.”
