The fact that Wright was able to practice without any limitations is a positive sign as he is currently penciled in as one of the starting guards. He will provide immediate value as one of the main distributors in this offense.

Delon Wright was traded to the Mavericks in a sign-and-trade deal with the Grizzlies in exchange for two second-round picks. Wright will sign a three-year, $29 million contract.

Wright could challenge for the starting role at either back-court spot in 2019-2020, pending on how Dallas uses star Luka Doncic. He could have a safe path to minutes, and will compete with Tim Hardaway and Seth Curry for a back-court spot. Wright averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals in 75 games for the Grizzlies/Raptors last season.

Delon Wright posted his first triple-double on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks finishing with career-high 26 points and a career-high 14 assists plus 10 rebounds. Wright also added two three-pointers and two steals while playing a team-high 39 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Mike Conley is almost a lock to be done for the season as the Grizzlies are out of the playoff hunt. The Grizzlies could've made the playoffs with Marc Gasol but Wright and JV could be worth more in the long run with how their playing. Wright must be started in the final few games before being a high-upside pick in re-draft leagues next season.
