Clippers to trade Quentin Richardson to Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, M.Madsen

[QUOTE=jaydacris]I can't see ricky davis ever playing for jerry sloan.
Jerry Sloan's look on his face after ricky davis tried to get a phony triple double on his own basket was absolutely priceless.[/QUOTE]

I'd assume they cut Ricky as soon as they got him.

At the beginning of the summer, Rubio said he wanted to play in the same place Quentin Richardson was playing.

Not fully understanding what Rubio meant, Kuhn traded for Q.

Timberwolves got raped in this trade.

I like this, we pick up some decent bigs, and i'd trust Telfair as the backup point more than Taylor. That kid is way too sporadic for my tastes.

[QUOTE=bdreason]Timberwolves got raped in this trade.[/QUOTE]
Yes... and they actually took back more salary.
Wolves fans better hope there are draft picks included.

And everyone was calling for "McFail" to get fired :banghead:

This isn't the first time the Clips got over on the Wolves in a trade. Anyone remember Marko Jaric for Sam Cassell?

It's a good trade for the Clips, it does give them some needed depth. However, I don't think Dunleavy's done wheeling and dealing yet. He was really busy last summer...it seemed like was acquiring new players almost every week. He still needs to re-sign Steve Novak, look for another dependable bench player, and hopefully look pawn off Ricky Davis to another team.

Yeah the new GM is even worse. Drafts two point guards and trades all his players.

It wasn't just Marko for Sammy, it was Marko + Chalmers for Sammy + a first :D.

hooray no more telfair:hammertime: :hammertime: . hate to see smith go he was a very solid role player. guess this means we will be picking up garret siler to be a back up C

So, does this move mean the Timberwolves are going to [I]try[/I] keep both Rubio and Flynn? Or is this purely a salary cap related move?

it was a "get rid of McHales trash" move. completely overhauling the roster is what kahn is doing. trading 3 garbage (1 solid role player:cry: ) for an expirere sounds fine to me

That's what I figured. How they are going to workout the whole Flynn-Rubio scenario (if Rubio does come over) is still a mystery to me.

Mystery to me as well. somehow either rubio or flynn is going to be playing the 2 (when both on on the floor...). idk what is going on we shall see

Good trade for the Wolves just for getting rid of Telfair and his contract next summer. The Wolves will have another $2.5 million in salary cap space next summer to go after some free agents or make trades. They won't be players for the likes of Wade, Bosh or LBJ, but there will be some solid second tier free agents so the Wolves can become a solid team again.

[QUOTE=MK2V1GP]LOL. That's what that big-mouth punk gets. Going from one sucky franchise to another. NY to Memphis to LAC to Minny. That's pretty much the bottom 4 franchises right now, one could say.

Now he needs to head to Milwaukee.[/QUOTE]

sucky franchise? boston has been worthless since larry bird left over a decade ago. :roll: boston fans crack me up. what a bunch of losers.

what a crazy f*cking ride it's been for Q-rich this off season. Finished in NYK, sent to Memphis to be reunited with Darius, then to LAC to be reuinited with the Clippers, now off to the coldest US NBA city. Have a nice november-march Q :oldlol: hope he lands well wherever he ends up. Always liked Q

[QUOTE]Round and round I go on this NBA tour. Where o where will it stop no one knows. Lol. Right now I'm a t'wolf. Tomorrow? Who knows? Lol.[SIZE="1"]38 minutes ago from Tweetie

i think he will be a timberwolf for this next season and then not resigned

Similar to when the Cavs had both Kevin Johnson and mark Price. They chose to keep price who was very solid; however KJ had the better career....The wolves will trade one of the two pgs.Hopefully they make the right choice

Why is Q.Rich worth that much? Telfair is even better than him...

[QUOTE=IamSofaKing]Why is Q.Rich worth that much? Telfair is even better than him...[/QUOTE]
telfairs a back up pg.

on the wolves hes a back up back up pg.

obviously this is a sign that kahns negotians with dvk juventud are going swell, so playing flynn and rubio is a good chance.

wolves save money for next years FA class.

we added a sg(only sg on the team was wayne ellington and tweener corey brewer).

Clippers are waiting until September to make the trade with Dallas.

Buckner (expirer) plus bull[COLOR="Black"]s[/COLOR]hit for Kaman

the issue I have with this trade is part of the issue I had with the Clipps last season.. there is going to be zero chemistry as they chop and change too much, and they end up with a weird group of players being coached by a moron, so they end up self destructing and missing the playoffs.

So far, all we've done, is get rid of one starter from last season (Randolph, who everyone says is bad for chemistry) and have just upgraded our bench and got the first overall pick, yet, no chemistry? :hammerhead:

The problem isnt the talent. The Clippers are LOADED with talent. The problem is that coach. Dunleavy is HORRIBLE. The man has coached what? What winning season out of how many? And that wasnt even because of his coaching, but more so because of the players he happened to have on the team that year. When does this man step down, and they bring in a real coach?

Just saying it's a possibility.

You might want to check how much your team has changed over the last 15 months. [URL="http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/transactions.html"]http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/transactions.html[/URL]
Its just a mish mash. No team can develop and win with that much instability under poor leadership.

[QUOTE=Hawker]Just saying it's a possibility.[/QUOTE]

Oh ok.


So is Dirk for Ricky Davis and Marcus Camby ;).

I get what you mean, but last summer, we changed all but 4 players when the season started (Kaman, Thornton, Mobley & Thomas), and Mobley/Thomas eventually were dealt. Paul Davis had a short return stint as well.

So far, this summer, all we've done is get rid of Randolph (who is labeled a headcase) and just increased depth. Don't think chemistry will be as big an issue.

no sympathy?

I don't really understand the point of this trade, I mean it's an alright trade, but wasn't very necessary. Sure we get a back up sg, but why wouldn't we just resign Carney, who imo is much better than Q Rich. Hell the only player that we got rid of that ISNT better than Q is the mad dog.

Oh well, not a huge Telfair fan, but Smith was always a great role player.

Craig smith is a baller

im not sure about the contracts of the people gave up but Qrich is an expirer. also it is not like this trade made us any worse (ill miss you C. Smith:cry: )

[quote]Kahn called the 6-6 Richardson's acquisition "less an acquisition at this point than an ability to create [roster] flexibility" and make additional trades, perhaps to target expensive Phoenix shooting guard Jason Richardson or disgruntled Portland shooting guard Rudy Fernandez, Rubio's former teammate with the DKV Joventut team from which Rubio is seeking his release.[/quote]

looks like i was wrong and qrich may be traded again...

lol @ qrich getting traded three times in one summer!

i wouldnt stop at 3.:oldlol:

another bump to this thread. Looks like quentin is likely to be traded again

[quote]Look for the Timberwolves to end up trading new guard-forward Quentin Richardson to clear even more salary cap space. Richardson, who played for the New York Knicks in 72 games last season, shot only 36.5 percent from three-point range and just 39.3 percent overall. The Wolves' three-point team average was 35.3 percent last season.[/quote]

to be fair and objective though, charlie walters is not the most reliable journalist...
