Of course it is not, that's why proposals like Wright+Jackson+#18 are being thrown around. That's why I would gamble on him and that's why it makes sense for Indy to wait half a season before trading him. It can't really go lower than that.

Please tell me one example when I said Wright should be just thrown away. Absolutely never have I said that. But upgrading Wright for Schroeder/Dipo/Richardson and similar is a big upgrade ovwer what Wright is and absolutely worth a #18 pick. Absolutely every trade I am proposing is about making Mavs better and none about dumping players. So who is putting words in other people mouths?

However, one year of a bad fit (though putting up some still SOLID numbers) does not mean he is "trash" and a "negative asset."
According to his salary Wright is an overpaid back up PG. His only really good sequence were those couple of games in Memphis. Otherwise he was average at best. Difference was, he was still young in Toronto and a hope he can be something more. Sequence in Dallas proved otherwise. Sorry for using harsh word trash, but I felt I need to balance your word of calling him an asset, which he certainly isn't. I stand by saying he is an negative asset. Absolute best case for trading him without asset attached is for someone like Snell, imho. But you are free to name those teams that would be interested in him and his salary and what they would be willing to send back.

I am sorry you take a little sarcasm so personally.
Just to illustrate why I get so angry by some evaluations. Post injury Oladipo is listed as top60 player by The Athletic (pre injury top 30). THJ, Curry and Maxi are top 125, for example. Wright, Jackson or Bobi are no where near top125 players. So saying trading them+#18+#31 is not an upgrade, makes me angry, because it is unrealistic. He would make Mavs much better for a small price in this kind of trade.
I agree with the other part of the scale. If I am Indy, I rather take half a year chance on Oladipo before trading him. Or perhaps pieces will fall together with the new coach and Indy goes where some see them based on the (theoretic) value they have on the team. Surely they have nice pieces on all positions, just lack star power.
