    He's the only player without an exit interview clip. Does that mean he's leaving? Maybe the interview didn't go well? The link to the exit interviews says full audio but again, no DWright.

    There's really no opt out or team option in his contract is there? I don't think teams can discuss trades yet.

    Once a team is done playing they can make trades.

    I've been wondering about this too. It wouldn't hurt if the Blazers staff would at least mention why there is no interview of him posted.

    Was he on a one-year contract or a longer one?

    He signed a two year contract last summer that does not have any opt outs so he will be here next season unless there is a trade.

    Too similar. It's a conflict of interest for Draco to talk about Dorell.

    I can't imagine Dorell was happy about his playing time.

    hopefully he was not happy about his dismal shooting this year either for a supposed good shooter

    Kind of hard to play a shooter that can't shoot

    It's not the staff's job, it's the presses - they need to get off their axxes, find out and let us know if they haven't already done so.

    Along with Meyers Dorell was probably my biggest disappointment last year. Thought he could have a chance of giving a starter a run for their spot but he wasn't close to that effective.

    The last couple games against SA where he didn't play I saw him sitting on the bench, not really engaged with his teammates.

    I did not notice that at all. I saw him cheering hard in game 4. In game 5 he might have been a little down, but most of them/us were.
    Having said that I would not mind if they used his 3.1 million as part of a trade.

    This.

    His contract will be nice filler on any trade we make.

    Agreed, but it still doesn't explain why he didn't have an exit interview.

    Yup. I think he probably had a conversation with Terry and Neil and it became clear that he's not a part of the future here.
