It’s a trade you have to make. Delon Wright, Jonas Valanciunas, C.J. Miles were all outcasted as part of a deal for Marc Gasol. A deal in which Delon Wright was the sweetener. His career wasn’t long. However, considering his production and the return he brought, Delon Wright was a success story.
The former 20th overall pick was drafted as a 23-year-old prospect. He showed flashes during his first two seasons, was a key player last season, and helped Toronto land a big fish, all under his rookie contract. Delon likely wasn’t going to return to Toronto next season, so while he will be missed, his departure does make sense.
