Everything Delon Wright

[Nilanka]

Norm got his chances but injury completely sidelined him

That's another factor working against Wright. He can't stay healthy for more than 15 games at a time.

Norm's contract says that Masai isn't really concerned with the idea of contract dictating minutes.

But you're right, don't think we see Wright in the starting lineup simply because his role card is "spot-minute bench guy". Often tough to shake a label.

Highly unlikely. Masai just convinced the board to write a cheque to make an 18M bet on FVV. And they passed on Wright's extension. Freddy is a clear #2 in the PG pecking order, come hell or high water.

Yeah they arlready bet on FVV. They are going to keep giving him chance to earn that contract

For the next scheduled Lowry "rest day", would really like to see Nurse go with Wright in the starting lineup (instead of Freddy). Curious to see how he fares.

weeds legal now I suppose

MU needs to make trades to limit nurses options.

Could be, but there are several PGs on the market next year, and Wright is in that awkward spot where he's too old to be their PG of the future, and not established enough as a starter to be a guy you drop a lot of cash on for current levels of production.

Plus, Phoenix should definitely have offer-sheeted FVV and somehow screwed that up, so I'm not going to worry about Phoenix until I'm sure I have to.

What sort of projected stats does Delon have? Any good? Because they may perceive him as a player who could flourish given the opportunity. Teams are always looking for those under utilized players they project could breakout.

Anyone think Pheonix, in bad need of a starting PG, makes a big offer?

Is Powell going to cost Wright?

I don't think so. Raps will match offers when he's a RFA, but I don't think it will exorbitant for him. Probably similar Fred's deal.

it's after 6pm too.. so probably no extension

I agree and other ones have been announced. I just figured with our fairly prolific media presence, somebody would have tweeted something. Either way, it’s news.

Edit: the front page is all over it. No source but maybe the Republic is it’s own source (keep quiet Abbas)
