I have mentioned him a couple of times. He was much better in Indiana, but most players performed better than in Chicago. I am totally fine with Wright+Jackson for Young swap, even if nothing else is coming our way. Add DJJ or Dunn for MLE and we are suddenly capable of fielding a very good defensive unit if needed. 

Off unit: Luka, Curry, THJ, DFS, KP
Def unit: Luka, DJJ/Dunn, DFS, Young, KP (or Kleber)

Starting: Luka, THJ, DFS, Young, KP
Bench: Brunson, Curry, DJJ/Dunn, Maxi, Powell

We would still have #18 and #31 for a third string unit (plus Bobi, WCS or other 3rd string center and another vet like Barea or Lee) and increased internal competition. A lot of assets to combine for a higher level player while not really suffering in depth. Richardson for Wright and pick might make us even stronger but this easn't bad at all either.

You’ve talked about the benefits of veteran leadership in discussing Horford.  You get that with Young also.  Keeping him and Lee around helps the locker room.  I like DJJr. better than Dunn.  But, part of the "compensation" for the Wright/Young deal could be a wink/wink agreement not to match the RFA offer we make to Dunn.

Wright and Young work straight up (just swapping each team's year ago ill-fitting major addition).  I added Jackson to even out the money, but you could pull him from the deal and combine him with a pick for a player if you wanted to.
