Ranking the top 18 shooters available on NBA trade market

15. F Josh Richardson, San Antonio Spurs

Josh Richardson has served the role of scoring spark off the bench well for the San Antonio Spurs and is a solid shooter, albeit not the most elite one on the market. Considering the state of the Spurs, San Antonio will look to recoup whatever it can from Richardson.

Richardson came over to San Antonio in the trade that netted the Boston Celtics Derrick White. The Spurs are the 29-year-old’s fifth team and the one where he least fits into contention trajectory.

Richardson doesn’t provide much in the way of rebounding or passing, but he is a good scorer, averaging 11.2 points per game off the bench. While he hasn’t matched the supernova 44.4 percent he hit from three in brief action last year, his 36.2 percent shooting is good enough. He’s a 36.5 percent three-point shooter for his career and has never shot below 33 percent for a season.

The 3-and-D wing is on an expiring contract, so whatever team acquires him would be getting a rental. The Spurs reportedly want a first-round pick, which is lofty, but feasible for a contender looking to fill out their roster. If the Spurs get that, it would likely be slotted towards the back end of the round.

The Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks both seem to be good fits for Richardson’s talent. A reunion with the Dallas Mavericks – who Richardson played for a couple of years ago, including a disappointing postseason run – may also be in order.
