Re: Josh Richardson and whether he opts in

I do not. He skipped exit interviews, right? To me that says he is LONG gone and cannot wait to be in another situation. 

He showed up for the exit interview conducted by the team, as did all the Mavs. He skipped the last-day media interview, along with a couple of others, I think Willie and Burke. It is actually not that uncommon for a team's free agents to pass on the media interview. I don't know if we can read anything particularly negative into it, but we can't interpret it as a good sign, either. 

I could see him opting in with the intention that the Mavs trade him somewhere that he and his agent like.

Until recently, I thought that Josh would probably not opt in, and that there would be a reasonable level of demand for him around the league if the Mavs wanted to pass. Now, I'm not so sure.
