Wright, the Texas A&M product considered the “bright spot of camp’’ by coach Rick Carlisle, has obviously earned rotation minutes. Wright, who came to Dallas in the Kidd trade, isn’t locked into the first-team job by any means; there will be a temptation for Carlisle to rely on a more “known quality’’ like Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse.

But. … we can hope, can’t we? Wright is 6-7, is athletic, is a finisher, has handles, can play a little defense and has been working on his shot. Stack and Jet off the bench would make that group special. And one or both of them might still be on the floor at game’s end.

But an injection of something different from years past at the 2? Worth a shot.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a young, athletic 2 guard get significant minutes in the regular season? Someone who actually has a chance to get better?

Wright deserving significant minutes makes the Kidd trade that much better.
