Though it may not be totally official yet, Brandan Wright will be the newest Maverick at this afternoon's first workout of training camp.

Mavs fans will be saying goodbye to Tyson Chandler, JJ Barea and Caron Butler soon. They could be saying hello to Brandan Wright. ESPN.com’s Marc Stein reports that Wright tops the list of bargain-priced big men the Mavs are courting in free agency. The 6-foot-10, 210-pound Wright was the eighth overall pick in the 2007 draft, but he’s averaged only 5.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 114 career games. ESPN.com

Brandan Wright isn’t sure what to expect next season, if there is an NBA season. The former Brentwood Academy star was traded from Golden State to New Jersey in February, and he’s a restricted free agent. The NBA locked out its players on July 1 when the league’s collective bargaining agreement expired, putting the season in jeopardy. “There’s a chance I might not go back (to New Jersey), but we don’t know — especially with all the labor stuff,” Wright said. “Right now it’s looking like I’ll be back there. But you never know. It’s a business. You don’t know what’s going to happen.” The Tennessean

After nearly two months of trying to find a trade for him, the New Jersey Nets are near an agreement to send Troy Murphy to the Golden State Warriors for Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The trade is expected to be completed on Wednesday, but could still become larger with the inclusion of Nets point guard Devin Harris into a three-team package – most likely with Portland or Dallas, sources said.

The Golden State Warriors and New Jersey Nets are discussing a potential trade that would send disgruntled Nets forward Troy Murphy and a second-round draft pick to the Warriors in exchange for center Dan Gadzuric and forward Brandan Wright, according to league sources.

Troy Murphy could go to Golden State for two nondescript big men: Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric. There’s also a Portland deal that has Murphy and Harris (with nearly $21 million in salary) going to the Blazers for Miller and Joel Przybilla (carrying under $15 million in salary). Either a third team or another player would be needed to make that trade work. “I’ve heard Portland and I’ve heard Golden State but I really don’t know,” Murphy said Tuesday. “But at least it will be resolved within 48 hours.” New York Post

Recent Weekend Dimes have listed Sacramento's Jason Thompson and Chicago's James Johnson as young power forwards who've been made available via trade by the teams that made them recent first-round picks. Another name to add to that group, according to NBA front-office sources, is Golden State's Brandan Wright, who simply hasn't been able to produce (or stay healthy) consistently for the Warriors despite his intriguing length and athleticism.

Suspect as a rebounder because of his build and still trying to develop more variety offensively to complement his undeniable shot-blocking ability, Wright will be a restricted free agent at season's end if he’s not moved by the Warriors first. There aren't any strong signals that anything’s imminent, but this much we know: The 23-year-old belongs with Dan Gadzuric and Vladimir Radmanovic on list of Golden State "gettables." ESPN.com

Brandan Wright of the Golden State Warriors, who was a first-round draft pick and will have earned $11 million before his 24th birthday, is typical of a new attitude. He said he owns one BMW and a home in Nashville, Tenn., for his immediate family. Mr. Wright said he likes to get "nice sandwiches" rather than lavish meals when he's eating out on the road in order to save cash. And if his spending ever gets out of hand, he said, he has trained his financial advisers to call him to tell him to rein it in. "Cheap is the best way to be," he said. Wall Street Journal

You could feel the mixed emotions whirling in Brandan Wright's head as he forced a smile past his gritted teeth. A team source said the Warriors will not offer a contract extension to the 6-foot-10, 210-pound power forward by today's deadline, making the 2007 No. 8 overall pick a restricted free agent at season's end.

"I hope I'm around to allow my talents to flourish," the 23-year-old said prior to Sunday's game against the Lakers. "At the same time, if they don't want me, I'm ready to move forward with another team and come back and burn them. "I want to play, but there is also a comfort level with this team and this area. It would be tough to walk away." San Francisco Chronicle

"We'll be evaluating Brandan throughout the season," Riley said via text message. "We have a good relationship with both Brandan and his agent," who is Jim Tanner. This season marks the Warriors' completion of the fourth year of Wright's rookie-scale contract, so they will be able to submit a one-year qualifying offer this summer and could match any other team's counter. Links to the Charlotte Bobcats, where Wright would be united with fellow University of North Carolina alums Michael Jordan and Larry Brown, remain strong. But no one is certain if Wright is the three-time Mr. Basketball from Tennessee, where he led Brentwood Academy to four consecutive state titles, or the well-dressed player on the NBA bench because of a series of shoulder injuries.
