Wright is a good defender, but much moreso off-ball. His on-ball defense actually wasn't that great. His instincts however in terms of anticipating passes and jumping into passing lanes was awesome. He is certainly a better defender than most of the Mavs' players but he just isn't a fit. Rick could never really find a role for him so he is like 99% gone this offseason imo.
I could see him flourishing on another team, especially one that could let him hold the ball more on offense. On the Mavs team he had to do more off-ball stuff which didn't really suit his game. He was also too tentative across the board. Maybe he would be more aggressive on another team, not sure. All that to say he's probably gone so we need to find a better player that Rick will actually play in the playoffs.
