Was this deal ever completed? Now that we've traded favors, we could use Wright.

Just saw on twitter that it is no official.

Good trade. Replenishes depth in the front court and Wright is now a really interesting piece on the bench at PF going forward. He's still only 23 years old.

Still would love to somehow snag Mayo before the deadline. Probably tough to do now without as many picks to deal.

Yep, I like it as well. If Wright works out we can resign him, if not then we let him walk at the end of the season. I just hope that Avery gives him minutes as they seemed to be few minutes for him in Golden State. And Gadz gives us another option for backup center.

It's basically our 2012 2nd rounder for Brandan Wright (former top 10 pick). Let's hope Deron can work his magic and bring some life into Wright's career.

Prepare to see Outlaw playing getting alot of pf minutes so Avey can try to justify his signing.He barely played Favors so i doubt he gives Wright enough minutes to see if hes worth anything.

That's what worries me. Although its not like playing Wright is a pressing issue, I'm just intrigued to see if he can actually contribute to the team if given sufficient minutes. I actually think that he'll get some run since Avery doesn't seem to want to play Outlaw at PF anyway.

The more minutes Outlaw gets the better. The only way that he could possibly be traded is if people see him play. It might not be pretty but I'm sure there are plenty of GMs that want to hemorrage their teams lol.

^tru.I wldve liked to give Murphy a chance to play out the season with Dwills now that theres no excuse about not having enough minutes to go around.The more games we win the better at this point.

[NyCeEvO]

^^Totally agree.

[JoseRizal]

^^ Avery's never gonna let that happen...

Wright just never got the chance. Freak injuries and the spite of coaching staffs left what was our most talented big man on the bench most of his career. He's extremely long(his turn around hook shot is unblockable) Great hands, great timing on blocks. Still skinny, but a very talented guy. Was thought of a top 3 pick before his draft. I will be following along hoping he pans out.

I actually had him on my Fantasy team a year or two ago. When he was getting minutes before he got hurt, he was actually showing strides. He actually has range out to the 3pt line which was news to me. His man defense makes him a liability but his length makes him a solid help defender which we need when Hump is playing a bigger PF. I actually have a good feeling about Wright. I think we could resign him at something like 3yrs year deal between 5-6 million (team option year 2, player option year 3) to be honest and I'd be fine with that. He's only 23 so you never know what can happen with this kid.

As for Gadz, he's starting to get up there in age so have a nice life. Enjoy your 2 months in jersey.

Gadz does nothing well, but he's always hustling and bringing a lot of energy. I enjoyed his time here, unexpectedly.
