Since it was said that a trade for Quentin Richardson could happen this week, it couldn't be for anyone with a trade restriction that blocks them from being traded along with anyone else. The trade must be for a SG. If it's not, it wouldn't make any sense because we would only have Wayne Ellington at SG and possibly Corey Brewer, but he's a SF. Richardson can only be traded alone because of his trade restriction. I am listing the teams with tradeable SG's that could come to MN.
Teams that can trade for Richardson:
Atlanta- (Jamal Crawford) UNLIKELY
Boston- (Tony Allen, Bill Walker) POSSIBLE
Charlotte- (Raja Bell, Gerald Henderson, Dontell Jefferson) POSSIBLE
Chicago- (DeMarcus Nelson, Anthony Roberson, Kirk Hinrich) VERY UNLIKELY
Cleveland- (Delonte West) POSSIBLE
Dallas- (Matt Carroll) UNLIKELY
Denver- (J.R. Smith) VERY UNLIKELY
Golden State- (Anthony Morrow) VERY UNLIKELY
Houston- (Brent Barry, James White) UNLIKELY
Indiana- (Brandon Rush) SOMEWHAT POSSIBLE
Los Angeles Lakers- (Sasha Vujacic) POSSIBLE
Miami Heat- (Daequan Cook, Dorell Wright) POSSIBLE
Milwaukee Bucks- (Charlie Bell, Jodie Meeks) POSSIBLE
New Jersey Nets- (Keyon Dooling, Terrence Williams, Chris Douglas-Roberts) POSSIBLE
New Orleans Hornets- (Devin Brown, Darren Collison) UNLIKELY
New York Knicks- (Cuttino Mobley, Joe Crawford) VERY UNLIKELY
Oklahoma City Thunder- (James Harden, Kyle Weaver) UNLIKELY
Orlando Magic- (Mickael Pietrus, J.J. Redick) POSSIBLE
Philadelphia 76ers- (Jason Kapono, Willie Green) POSSIBLE
Phoenix Suns- (Leandro Barbosa) POSSIBLE
Portland Trailblazers- (Rudy Fernandez, Martell Webster) POSSIBLE
Sacramento Kings- (Kevin Martin, Francisco Garcia) VERY UNLIKELY
San Antonio Spurs- (Manu Ginobili, Roger Mason Jr.) POSSIBLE
Toronto Raptors- (Quincy Douby) ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
Utah Jazz- (Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer) POSSIBLE
Washington Wizards- (DeShawn Stevenson, Nick Young) POSSIBLE
Teams that cannot trade for Richardson:
Detroit Pistons (Stuckey's a PG, Rip is the only other one, we won't get him for Richardson)
Los Angeles Clippers (They traded him to MN)
Memphis Grizzlies (They traded him to LA)
Minnesota Timberwolves (Obvious)
