Ranking the Miami Heat players in order of trade value

4. Josh Richardson

Age: 23

Position: Shooting Guard/Small Forward

2016/17 Salary: $874,636

Contract Expires: 2017/18

2016/17 Stats: 10.4 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 2.2 APG, 38.1 FG%, 31.3 3P%, 29.4 MPG, 19 GP

Richardson had an interrupted start to his second season in the league due to an ankle injury sustained during the preseason. Since his return, Richardson has been impressive on the defensive end. However, his shooting has regressed following an amazing finish to his rookie campaign. Finishing last season with a 45.2 FG% return, his numbers have dropped this season to 38.1%. In particular his three-point shooting has fallen away, dropping from 46.1 to 31.3 3P%.

The promising aspect for both the Heat and Richardson is that he has shown he is capable of consistently hitting the outside. In the final 30 games of his rookie campaign, Richardson hit a remarkable 52 percent from three-point range. However, now that teams are more aware of his capabilities, he is finding it much harder to break free for open ;looks.

Still, at just 23 years of age and with an incredibly cheap contract, Richardson represents incredible value on the open trade market. The Washington Wizards are a viable trading partner, who are in need of backcourt depth off the bench. And with second year forward Kelly Oubre Jr struggling for regular court time, this could a move that makes sense for both teams.
