Telfair dealt to the Clippers for Richardson

It's been an odd summer for Quentin Richardson. He was initially dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Darko Milicic. Reunited with his fellow head-bopper, Darius Miles, I expected some depressing semblance of the old exciting duo that they once were. That was short-lived, however, as Richardson was traded again to the Los Angeles Clippers (the place where the head-bopping began) in exchange for Zach Randolph. Today brought trade number three of the summer for Q-Rich, as he was shipped to Minnesota in exchange for Sebastian Telfair, Mark Madsen and Craig Smith. For the Clippers, they get a serviceable backup for Baron Davis in Telfair. Telfair has had somewhat of an underwhelming career thus far, but at 24 years old, many still believe that he has not met his full potential. With Davis' shaky injury record in past seasons, it's not beyond ones imagination that Telfair could end up as a starter for Los Angeles for at least a stretch this season. In Madsen and Smith, they add more frontcourt flexibility in the form of role players. They should be able to at least give Blake Griffin a breather, that is if coach Mike Dunleavy doesn't prefer the twin-towers option (running Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman at the same time).This move makes perfect sense for the Timberwolves, who left everyone scratching their heads after using their two top draft picks on Jonny Flynn and Ricky Rubio. While Rubio coming over to play this season isn't a done deal, it certainly should make him more eager to join Minnesota and take over the starting role. Richardson should help supplement the recently traded Randy Foye and Mike Miller at shooting guard. With Richardson also only having one year left on his contract, it should give the Timberwolves some future financial flexibility.Who do you think got the better end of this deal?
