Ahh man. I really looked forward to Q being back in LA. I feel sorry for him. This is the 3rd time hes been traded so far this offseason. Atleast Mad Dog is back in LA.
The Los Angeles Clippers agreed to trade Quentin Richardson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, Mark Madsen and Craig Smith on Monday.
Madsen spoke to his agent on Monday to confirm the deal.
The trade is expected to be announced later Monday after the teams complete a trade call with the league.
The trade will give the Clippers a solid backup point guard behind Baron Davis and give them some depth at the power forward position.
For the Wolves this essentially saves them some money next season and clears up a potential logjam at the point guard position. New Wolves GM David Kahn is currently in Spain trying to negotiate a buyout for Ricky Rubio. If Kahn can get an agreement, he will have both Rubio and their other lottery pick, Jonny Flynn, as the team's point guards.
Madsen spent six seasons in Minnesota. His playing time waned as his career progressed, but he remained a valued leader in the locker room.
Smith was a capable scorer off the bench for the Wolves, but the power forward had trouble getting consistent playing time behind Al Jefferson and Kevin Love.
Richardson averaged 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds last season.
