With Giannis Powell has No place on the team anyway

To sign Giannis, we would have to release Richardson's cap hold to get a max slot. Then we could only offer Richardson the MLE. That'll be laughed at by Richardson's agent
But Richardson >>>MIGHT<<< wait a year to get taken care of. After all, he'd be playing with Luka AND Giannis AND Porzingis and I'm sure that he would get a "make up" contract. Say Richardson would get a 3 year $60m contract next offseason, he could take his $11m next year and the Mavs give him a 2 year $49m contract the following offseason
It would be a gamble but in theory it COULD happen (probably won't because his agent would strongly advise him to take the $60m in hand) but it is possible
