I think Wright's value was getting pretty out of whack on this board for a while now and it was obvious even before the draft that they had to address the frontcourt desperately and without moving a guard that wasn't likely to be possible. Could trade Bagley for space or a vet and use the MLE on another and still be short at least 2 bodies.
I think Thompson is every bit the big man equivilent of Wright too. He's limited, but really good at the stuff he's good at and doesn't attempt to do things he shouldn't. If they keep him, they will get 20-25 solid minutes out of him and definitely more utility than they would have gotten out of Wright.
And again they sacrificed no value here. Wright simply wasn't worth what people were demanding here. I think their team is better today than yesterday especially since Wright, like Hield has proven to be a headache when not getting the minutes/role he thinks he deserves along with family members getting involved. Kings are the last team to need two of those guys on their bench egging each other on.

Well considering they gave up 2 seconds and a non-guaranteed CoJo for Wright 6 months ago and now traded for a marginal Thompson as back-up centers which can be had cheap. So you basically gave up 2 seconds and added 7M in cap space through your moves. That doesn’t even cover if they resign Richardson who for whom they gave up another second.
Vlade didn’t leave Monte much but he has managed to **** up even the limited assets Vlade did leave him. This statement will be further reinforced if Holmes walks for nothing.

ATL won. They got the best player, the poll only reinforces this.
Your dislike of Wright from his Dallas days continues to cloud your view of him.
McNair panicked. He thought he had the Buddy deal, and when it fell through he continued his draft plan but knew he had move a guard quick because the Fox trade narrative was getting going. So he moved Wright for the first big man he could find and lost in value.

Proof that any bias I may have didn't interfere with my ability to set his value accurately.ThunderBolt wrote:I’m going to let some of you in on a little secret I learned on realgm.

I mean the deal isn't done so you might be right, maybe the Kings get more value. But generally when a player gets traded I have that trade determining their value.
Saying anything else just comes across as refusing to admit one was incorrect on the value. I pegged him literally right before the trade as worth expirings and a 2nd. And as of now, I pretty much nailed it only the Kings chose to take their value in a center who can help them over an expiring who can't and a 2nd. Which seems like a really reasonable choice for them honestly.
As to my post you responded to obviously that was just me being cheeky based on your comments that my bias against Wright had me getting his value wrong, despite me getting it exactly right.
