Rock Richmond is five weeks short of his 37th birthday, and he thought this season would be a wonderful victory lap after a decade in the NBA wilderness.
Sadly, Richmond is defined in part by the awful squads he played on in Sacramento and Washington, a run so squalid you almost forget that he started his career as part of the trio with the best moniker in league history -- Run TMC.

 ESPN.com: GEN - As sun sets on his career, Mitch goes West again
Richmond spent most of the prime of his career playing for Sacramento teams that ranged from sub-mediocre (a 39-43 entry that sneaked into the playoffs in 1996) to hideously offensive (pretty much any of Richmond's other seasons with the Kings).
It is a decent playing-time option for Richmond, who saw the injury to Derek Fisher, the departure of Tyronne Lue and the history of Ron Harper and concluded there might be some minutes in Phil Jackson's system for a veteran player who knows what he's doing.
Mitch Richmond, a very good NBA player on the far side of a very underwhelming tenure, gets another try at writing the happy ending.
