Passing/Shooting/Defense/Leadership/Pois (Crunchtime ability) all improve when you get into the league.
So if Carlisle wants Wright to be a better rebounder and will not trade him until he becomes one... the Mavs might as well get rid of Wright. Ironically though, Wright is just as good of a rebounder as the guys that Carlisle plays ahead of him.

You, I, and everyone else knows that the reason he is not seeing action has little to do with rebounding. Yi Jianlian got into the games before Wright last year.
