If you think that Richardson sits out in FA waiting on Dallas to chase higher priority players - that is a mistake. If you want Richardson to stay there will be a reduced amount of cap space available.
Yes I am saying trade for Gobert and then sign him instead of accumulating space. Though I do not think this is readily possible without Donovan Mitchell refusing to play.
IF Richardson works as a fit with Luka, I would look to add a piece in trade and then work out the long term deal with him at the beginning of FA.
In my perfect scenario: Richardson and THJ work, Powell makes a significant contribution and a trade becomes available for a high paid piece using Johnson and Powell once KP returns. Ultimately I would hope for Aaron Gordon, but the player most likely to be available makes much more than that - I would settle for Tobias Harris IF I knew Richardson was capable of being the 2nd best (or 3rd if KP hits another level with consistent health).
