    Here is to hoping BWright is like a clone of Chris Bosh. This team needs rebounding and big man skills badly...

    I hate to break this story to you guys, but I did read that article this morning and just found out Wright got injured and will be out 4-6 months. Can you believe this sh*t?

    Article here.

    So now not only can't he help the team, he obviously can't be a significant part of any trade.

    :sigh:

    LOL. I assume this is sarcasm Run BJM.

    However, MT2 is not being sarcastic when talking about not picking up Brandan Wright's option now. This is the Warriors and Cohan, so I would not be surprised if they went back on their word.

    I would pick up BW's option for sure, but would Nelson/Riley/Rowell/Cohan? It's not like BW is a Nelson type of player.

    ... He had, by all accounts, a great off-season. He was arguably the most impressive player in camp to date. His floating hook was looking unguardable. He picked up 18 pounds over last season, according to the team’s staff, and had grown about an inch. Everybody was impressed with Brandan Wright.

    Now, he may be losing more than just most of this season.

    The Warriors, I’m told, were really close to officially picking up Wright’s option. They were definitely going to do it, but were waiting as a matter of safe practice. But once he came into camp looking good, it was a no-brainer. Now, not so sure. Of course, this is the very reason they waited, for the just in case, I think.

    Do you pick up his option?

    If Wright misses six months, he won’t return until March. And even then, he won’t be 100 percent. He will certainly be out of shape and rusty. So you can count this season as a wash. Which means, you are going into 2010-11 with the same questions/concerns about Wright that exist this season, and that’s assuming that shoulder is ever right again.

    Do you pick him up for 2010-11 under these circumstances and hope he recovers fully? Or do you cut your losses now and pick up the extra cap space next summer?
