Miami Heat Rotation: What's Josh Richardson's Role?

We are continuing our look at the Miami's Heat rotation for the upcoming season, and turn our focus on rookie Josh Richardson.

Slated in the first round on the Miami Heat draft board, Josh Richardson slipped to them at the 40th pick where they took him with great surprise. Now, Richardson will be on the Heat's roster for the upcoming season, but it wasn't easy.

The Heat value Richardson so much that they traded Zoran Dragic and Shabazz Napier away with draft picks and cash for nothing in return to create the roster room to keep him.
