What do you think the chances are of Julian Wright returning after this season? This is the final year of his contract. His qualifying offer of $3.9M almost certainly will not be made by the Raptors and as such he will land on the market as an unrestricted FA.

Is Julian Wright A Long Term Bench Option?

If he establishes himself as a premiere defender off the bench, there's room for him in this team I would think.“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther King

i like JW hes def. the best defensive 3 we got but i got bigger hopes for the long term then JW... i dont think we should sell our selves short at any possition... if we can upgrade that would be my choice...everybody should be trade bait on this team LOL

If he could turn into a Bruce Bowen, which I think he could, then he's definitely worth keeping on the bench. If not, then let's see how far he develops, we could then trade him if necessary.
Personally though, I'd rather keep him just because he's willing to play defense and do the little things that our current SF's won't/can't.

Why did he lose so much playing time when Kleiza came back from injury? Is it because the Raptors think Kleiza/Weems is our future 3's and not Wright?
He's our second best hustle player after Reggie, and 3.9 is not overpriced.-"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."

I voted no since the question is do you think he will be back not do we want him back. I would like to see him back, but he can sign on elsewhere, and if he gets offers I would bet he would be signing on a team that not only preaches and pays lip service to defense but actually plays it...which means he will actually get on the floor.
