After losing Gabe Vincent to the Los Angeles Lakers at the opening of NBA free agency, the Miami Heat agreed to deals with Josh Richardson and Kevin Love on Friday, sources told ESPN's Tim Bontemps.
Richardson, who returns to the team that drafted him with a second-round pick in 2015, gives Miami much-needed depth after losing Vincent and likely Max Strus.
Richardson, 29, landed in New Orleans after a February trade with the San Antonio Spurs and averaged 7.5 points in 23.2 minutes per game while shooting 38.4% from 3 for the Pelicans.
Richardson broke out as a 3-and-D wing for the Heat in his third year in the NBA and has bounced around the league in the seasons since, with stops in Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston and San Antonio.
