Reasons:
Cleveland: Get a 2nd. Also shave just under 700k. And Wright is performing at arguably a higher level (13.4 per versus 11.5 per). So, still would have just as strong a trade asset if looking to flip either later. So, cheaper (not the biggest concern at all but also a plus), a future asset, and not losing anything on the court or in a trade this season?
Philadelphia: Wright is falling out of the rotation (16 minutes in OT while Damien Wilkins plays 14 last night). Turner, Richardson, and Young are all capable at sf, while the bench guard rotation is Nick Young, Wilkins, and spot minutes by Ivey/Wayns. So getting a guard that could share the backcourt with Turner running the second unit would be a big improvement in fit. Giving up a 2nd and taking on the salary is the price of the fit, but with expiring contract for expiring contract, and looking in a race for the 7th(?) seed, Philly should be willing to pull the trigger.
