They are totally connected, as you point out.
I’m sure they’re disappointed in losing Richardson. I imagine they were thinking of Carpenter as added depth. Now it’s more of a question as to whether he is an upgrade over Richardson, which I suppose he is but probably not by much.
Too bad they couldn’t have put someone on LTIR like every one else does.
