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

[kozlodoev]

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 wonder why Mavs fans are complaining "who's going to play defense" then.

Wright averages 4+ blocks per 36. I'm not a big fan of the per-36 metric, but in terms of challenging shots, that's better than we've had in a long time.

[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.

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 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.

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

just calm down and enjoy Wright's dunk on Griffin below

Sure.

In the meantime, I'll enjoy what we could have had with Rondo if Danny used our assets and surrounded him with better players than giving him away for a guy who NEVER played 20+ minutes a game in his career.

I think I'll have a much better experience thinking about it than accepting that all we get for Rajon Rondo is a bench player.

Don't get too exited folks:

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

Why don't you stop trying to insult our intelligence by trying to convince us that Wright is some savior rim protector?  He is a career back up energy guy, never played more than 18 mpg.  Couldn't start in front of the walking corpses that dallas shuffled in and out of their lineup the last few years.  I get it, you are excited Rondo is gone.  Excuse us if we don't want to join your crazy train thinking Wright is more than he is.

Thank you. He sure is a rim protector in Dallas last year averaging 0.9 blocks per game and Samuel Dalembert was playing ahead of him.

I wonder why he's coming of the bench last year when he's such a rim protector...?

Exactly it's why Triboy and Chris22 are partying it up... DA basically just guaranteed that the C's are a suck-fest for the next 3 years. This is going to be "fun" to watch...

Excited about the vertical leap and wingspan. Sure, what else has Brandan Wright done that's meaningful.

None...

Yep you'd think Brandan Wright makes Anthony Davis look like he belongs in the dleague with some of this excitement... remember Dallas originally signed this guy for THE VET MIN

posted in another thread, but.... it took him a while to figure out what he can do in the NBA, but for the past few years now I like what he brings to the table. he is an athletic rangy big that can defend the rim, run the floor, work the pick and roll, and cleans up the offensive glass.

his per 36 minutes are 17 pts and 8 rebounds with 3 blocks per game. he is also leading the league in FG% shooting a super-silly 75% from the field. he also shots 75% ft.

he may not be duncan, but he aint chopped liver either. since we have no choice in the matter, let's wait and see how he plays as a celtic before passing judgement.
