He says he'd prefer to start and so neither the team nor the player got what they wanted.Most of my trade ideas has centered around this idea. I think both Brunson and Wright could benefit more by being on different teams. So I propose trades that gets value out of either of them.
We (collectively) almost never put Wright in fantasy trades, yet his stats are incredibly consistent and good (not great, but good). He might actually have some value as a backup on a good team or a manager of a transitioning team. People often talk about consolidating our assets (which basically means we have too many secondary ball handlers in Wright, Curry, Brunson and Barea). Brunson's time with Luka is a net negative, but he does fine when not paired with Luka. Wright plays well next to Luka, but so does Curry. The question is whether we really need Wright and Curry or could use the asset elsewhere.

Edit: Looks like Wright prefers to start and run the offense too, which is more useful information since this is Luka's team to run. Looks like I should focus on getting value out of Wright more than Brunson.
