Nets trade Troy Murphy + pick for Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric

[Nets fan 93]

the Nets sent Troy Murphy to the Warriors for two expiring contracts, Dan Gadzuric and Brandan Wright. The Nets are sending their 2011 pick and the Warriors 2012 pick to the Jazz. There could be more involved, and players included to make the salaries match. The news was first tweeted by Al Iannazzone.

With Humphries going back to being a starter... Wright is not that bad of a pickup. Lets see what he can do?

Maybe D-Will can help him to become the good player he's supposed to be

I am just hoping for some energy. Similar to the way Hump was off the bench.

As a UNC fan, I like the pick up of Wright. I think he left school a little early, but certainly has potential.

when drafted by the bobcats, didn't wright say "jordan wouldn't want a piece of this" and then get traded 10 minutes later?

i dunno, i think this kid is dead weight.

I kind of don’t know what to say about this trade, we basically traded an expirer and a draft pick for two expirers. Maybe I’m missing something but this trade really didn’t seem to make that much sense. Indiana was actually looking for a starting power forward and Murph was good for them last year and his salary matches up with Granger, and apparently the Pacers are pretty high on George. Hopefully Billy King at least contacted them, obviously we’d have to give up more but I hope he at least tried.

I wonder why Wright hasn't gotten any mins yet?

Yea I'm kind of confused as to why Wright isn't playing, he's the only back up power forward. I know Gadzuric isn't playing because they're trying to buy him out.

As of late, Brandan Wright has seen an increase in his playing time, and he has been scoring. He is averaging near 7 points a game just under 18 minutes, and the bright side is his age. Personally I would like him to get more playing time, but I realize the Nets want an instant dominant PF for them when they move to Brooklyn so I don't think he will stick around much. But in 2-3 years this guy is capable of 15/10 if he plays atleast 30 minutes.
