The Miami Heat acquire Quentin Richardson
The Miami Heat have acquired 29-year old SG/SF Quentin Richardson from the Timberwolves for 33-year old center Mark Blount. Richardson played in 72 games (51 starts) for the Knicks last season and he averaged 26.3 minutes, 10.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He has now played in 601 games (389 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 28.0 minutes, 11.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. This is the 4th time Richardson has been traded since last season ended but he has likely found a home with the Heat. Mark Blount played in 20 games (0 starts) for the Heat last season and he averaged 10.4 minutes, 4.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. This was a good move for the Heat as Richardson appears to be a much better player than Blount at this juncture in their careers.
