          Usually means murder.

            oh, geez. he definitely wasn't a happy camper.

            A former top 10 NBA draft pick has gone missing, according to a report Friday.

            Lorenzen Wright was reported missing to police in Collierville, Tenn., on Thursday, according to The Commercial Appeal website. A spokesman for the town, located about 20 miles east of Memphis, said the family told police they haven't seen the 6-foot-11 Wright since Sunday. The spokesman also said the police do not suspect foul play.

            Wright, who was drafted seventh overall in the 1996 draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, played 13 seasons in the NBA. His last season was in 2008-09 with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wright, who played collegiately at Memphis, averaged 8.0 points and 6.4 rebounds as a pro.

            His transition from being out of the league didn't appear to be smooth. His house was foreclosed in May, according to The Commercial Appeal, and purchased by Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis the same month.
            that's a big kick in the pants. I hope he didn't get into any drugs or anything.

              Body of missing Memphis basketball star Lorenzen Wright found

              Police investigating 911 hangup call from Wright's cellphone Monday

              Law enforcement officials have found the body of missing Memphis basketball star Lorenzen Wright in a wooded area at Hacks Cross and Winchester in southeast Memphis.

              A law enforcement source confirmed the body was that of Wright, who has been missing since July 19, though the Memphis Police Department won't officially comment. Police are referring to their investigation as a "death investigation."

              At the Collierville home of Wright’s ex-wife, Sherra Robinson Wright, white bed sheets covered the windows. A man pulled aside the sheets to answer the doorbell and raised his finger to ask for a moment. Then at 4:15 p.m., sounds of wails and crying rose from inside the house. The man did not return to the door.

                    He was having financial troubles... This sounds like foul play to me. What a horrible, sad story.

                      More details

                      The dispatcher heard a garbled male voice utter an expletive, then at least 10 gunshots.

                      "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?" the dispatcher asked.

                      Then the phone went dead.

                      The dispatcher called back. No one answered.

                          Doesn't sound like suicide to me but rather dealing with shady characters.
