Clowning him? I'm not trying to clown anyone at all. Not sure where that's coming from. I have no problem with Wright, just a slight annoyance with revisionist history. Now that he's hurt, what will happen next is that DSJ will get a stretch of games where he plays a lot - maybe even starts. At some point, he'll put up some points and dish out some assists in a game and people will login here to tell us about how Carlisle wasn't a good enough coach to develop him properly, or that Donnie messed up by trading him for KP. This WILL happen, because it has never not happened before, with literally any player the Mavs have let expire/traded away. If I was clowning anyone (I wasn't), it was the crowd that enjoys doing that.
You can say that a lot of players play inconsistent. KP is a classic example and he's a much bigger star than Wright. I digress, maybe the wrong choice of words. But clearly maybe not you but some of the others on here praised him til the cows came home after they signed him. But when he didn't play consistently enough, they wanted to run him out town, (which they did) All I'm saying is, he's played better in Detroit, than he did here. He is what he his, a somewhat dependable backup. Sometimes when things don't work out, things have a way of correcting itself. I don't see how anyone could say, they messed up trading DSJ for KP and THJ. That was one of the biggest hi-jacks ever depending on if KP stays healthy. DSJ is just about running out of chances. Hope it works out for him as he's lost confidence and trust in coaches. Casey is known for developing players, so we'll see.
