Me too. I think he wants to stay in Dallas though.
If they land a whale FA, there will be monetary casualties. n In fact, they may have to renounce contracts just to get into position to pursue a whale.
Dallas is in a very good situation to keep him. Keeping the early bird rights they have on him will only eat $0.4M in cap space because he has a very low cap hold. They can sign some big free agent names and then re-sign him with the early bird rights.
Lets see what Baynes can do.
He came on strong at the end of the season. In terms of shot blocking efficiency, he was one of the best with a block/foul ratio that was the fifth best in the league. Number one in this category, by a pretty good distance, was Tim Duncan-- so they'd be an impressive duo in that regard. Wright's PER of 21.03 was higher than Serge Ibaka's, DeAndre Jordan's, Larry Sander's, and Tiago Splitter's.
I like him, but I wouldn't pay much for him. He's not good enough to push Splitter to the bench, which is really what the Spurs need from a free-agent big.
Hopefully he doesnt became Tiago 2.0, Im talking about the time it took Pop to play him..I know, I know.."he was injured"....
id rather have Thomas robinson
Wright seems to be better than Robinson right now at everything except for rebounding. His FG% is significantly better (59.7% compared to 43%), his PER is nearly double Robinson's, and he's a much better shot blocker. If the Spurs win the le this year, I imagine the next goal would be to defend it next season. Robinson is still a project, and I don't think he'd help much. Seems to me Wright would be the perfect complement to Splitter... use Splitter against the bigger centers, use Wright against quicker small-ball line ups.
I don't see why this guy wouldn't be able to give you Splitter's production at an obvious dicount, tbh
