What I’ve seen from him, both last year here and this year in Detroit has been underwhelming, and the biggest confirmation of this is the quality of his team’s season, seeing as his role is that of main ball-handler. He’s probably the worst player in the league currently occupying that job, though it’s certainly not his fault he has been put in that position.
I do agree that he’s a better player than Johnson, but as even the most casual Mavs fan should know, that trade wasn’t about talent for talent - it was a financial/cap related move, as most deals are. I fail to see what possible point can be made through comparison. Please help me understand what you’re driving at there.
I mean what do you expect from Detroit, when they are totally in rebuild mode? They have purged the roster, giving the kids playing time, and will soon rid themselves of Blake Griffin's albatross contract. Wright has played well for them, despite your claims he hasn't. We know he's not a starting PG, but he has filled a role until Hayes come back. He played good for Casey in Toronto. Don't see why you're clowning him because he didn't play well in Dallas. He is what he is. They have beat some good teams, Phoenix, Lakers, Nets, Philly, and Boston twice. They play hard, and are actually fun to watch. One coach even said they are the best worst team in the NBA.
