If Richards has broken the terms the team wrote into the contract (potentially an added clause when they were considering a compliance buyout) and Richards broke this clause, why is everyone so up in arms over the voided contract?
The argument is basically the "We don't like LA, so they should be unjustly punished and be stuck with the contract"
This is an employment contract. This is REAL $$$ ( and a lot of it) to Richards. You can bet he will fight this if he has any legs to stand on. If he did break the terms of his legal employment contract, then LA should be able to void his contract.

Obviously we are all reaching here but it still feels like the Kings are making a last ditch effort to get out of this contract.

It really doesn't to me. They were in trade talks with teams. They informed those teams an issue has come up. Richards has not made any public statement despite the fact this will cost him millions AND a chance at FA tomorrow when he would have been bought out.
It sounds like a player with a questionable past, who was given 1 last chance with LA, screwing up.
