I still think he gets a "make good" one year deal in the 5m range. Similar to the *gulp* Kaman "deal".
I think if the mavs go the Okafor route, and it seems like a pretty strong possibility given the nature of Gortat, Sanders, Asik, Chandler, Varajao situations, then MBT would have to hedge with a 3rd capable FA Center I would think. In other words sign Okafor for 5-6m and use the savings on backup Center and PF(Jordan Hill?) and it just about equals Gortat straight up.
I think Brandon Wright is trade fodder to give the team more trade and roster flexibility.
I wont be bummed if Wright is back, i like his game in medium to small doses, but I would much rather see Wright and Ellington go before Calderon.
