Welcome Brandan Wright - 6'10, 35.5 vertical leap, 7'5 wingspan

[Beat LA]

You know, for everyone who said that Rondo was lazy and inconsistent in the effort department, I'd like to point out that the consensus on Brandan Wright for many years has been that he lacks any sort of 'fire' at all.  He's already 27, has never been a starter, and sucks.  There's a reason why he's AVERAGED 15.9 mpg in his career.  Besides, if we wanted a 'rim protector,' we could have gotten Hassan Whiteside for FREE.

Brandan Wright = the definition of mediocrity

Yep. There's absolutely no way there wasn't at least a better offer out there. Capela, salary fillers, and the NOLA pick easily beats this out...

Except the Rockets have no "salary fillers".

Maybe. Maybe not. You can't trust Morey and the Rockets org.

Danny kind of owes Mavs one for giving us KO on a discount also.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

I hope we resign him at the end of the year.
Love this trade.

NO!

He's a bench dude. You love this trade because you hate Rondo. You and triboy. Everybody who's sane thinks this is a stupid trade and a stupid return.

Wright is nothing more than an energy guy off the bench. And we two players who's practically useless and a pick which is also practically useless.

I can hardly wait to see us play.
We are going to be a better team.

How? by adding another PF in the mix. We will be the same team. But with less star power.

We are a better team without Rondo and with a rim protector.

A rim protector? A RIM PROTECTOR!? Are you serious?

You do realize that Brandan Wright plays against 2nd units right? 1.6 blocks and he's a RIM PROTECTOR?

He's thin, lanky and can't play Center. Just because he averages 1.6 blocks doesnt make him a rim protector.

are you joking?? Whiteside has no real experience. Brandan comes from a very good team. Has won a ring.   Also Brandan has a good feel for the game, unlike Whiteside "Melo" part 2

Whiteside wont COST us Rondo.

Wright is a bench player, youre like a car salesman who's pumping up an old Honda Civic and telling everyone it's a Honda S2000 as long as you keep it running.

Brandan Wright never started in his career, and if he's starting for your team, your team sucks.

do you have to be like this?? 

Go to the "fire Danny" thread and rant there. 

We needed a rim protector and Danny finally got  a guy that can provide protection.    Some of his better games in the past 2 seasons has been against the Rockets.  A team that destroyed us via Harden being scared of no one and also howard just dunking on our big guys repeatedly

I found a pretty good match for Wright based on PER and WS48:

We needed a rim protector and Danny finally got  a guy that can provide that

Danny provided energy off the bench. Wright is NOT a rim protector. Calling him a rim protector is like calling Kosta Koufos a rim protector.

I'm not going to the Fire Danny thread, I need to see how Marcus Smart turns out first. Im riled up at the fact that people (like you) are pumping up Brandan Wright as a great return when really, he isnt.

Exactly.  Show me a Rockets trade that actually makes sense for both teams that works salary-wise.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

we had a kid that could jump like that, they traded him years ago...trading rondo was one of the dumbest moves in Celtics history......you will see....the rest of the league wants him.......

We could have traded #9 for the corpse of Walter Brown, and Rondo haters would have found a way to call it an upgrade.

Rondo is gonna make him look like a star. Oh wait....
