Wright wants to re-sign in Portland

I'm happy he's happy/comfortable, but I don't think there's room here for him.

“So I’m really comfortable here in Portland. If it happens, it happens. We have a lot of free agents this summer. Of course the front office is going to take care of our big dogs first and then the discussions will trickle down to everybody else. But, yes, hopefully this situation works out. If not, it’s just part of the business. I’m ready for whatever is ahead of me.”

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Wright is a huge part of this teams chemistry, and worth signing for that reason alone.

 

If he's cheap, why not. Good guy, good veteran, gets along with everyone. He hits the occasional big 3.

 

I guess it depends on what he would sign for. I wouldnt give him more than 2 years for 5 mil total, but I would think he wants more.

 

Maybe for the vet minimum. But he's not been good here.

 

I think it'll be one of those things where he hits a big shot in the playoffs. regular season = whatevz.

 

Maybe for 2 years 3 mil, team option 2nd year.

 

What about 100,000 per year for 25 years? :MARIS61:

 

Wright didn't cut it as a backup here, and now we have Afflalo and Gee...so it'll just remain to be seen if we need to fill a 3rd string roster spot. Don't see why though. May as well try to develop someone else.

 

Wright hasn't performed as well here, but he isnt a bad player in this league. He's also very well liked by teammates. You resign him for somewhere around 2 years 4-5 million. That's a no brainer

 

Your avatar is wrong now!

 

I like DWright. He's not demanding a lot of time, helps the young guys, plays above average defense and can shoot the 3. We need role players with his length coming off the bench.

 

Ah, gotta change it.

 

He isn't serious, this is just a pump fake...

 

Actually it's a serious pump fake!

 

Hell no. Severe overpay.

He is only worth the vet minimum.

 

nah, severe overpay was Marcus Camby for 13.3 million to play about 7 decent games and blow up the lockerroom

 

I wish he behaved like it on the court.

 

Why is it a no brainer to sign a player that sucks?

 

We hear you everytime you say it and I still think that it's utter crap.
