The New Jersey Nets have declined to exercise the fourth-year option on the contract of guard/forward Antoine Wright, Nets' President Rod Thorn announced today. Wright will remain under contract with the Nets through the 2007-08 season, after which time he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

“We are looking to have financial flexibility at the conclusion of the season,” said Thorn. “Antoine has worked very hard to become a rotation player, and we expect him to be a solid contributor during the upcoming season.”

Wright, a 6-7 guard/forward out of Texas A&M, was the first round selection (15th overall) of the Nets in the 2005 NBA Draft. In his first two seasons, Wright has played in 102 games, averaging 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

Nets haven't played him to his full potential, he pwned at A&M and has the potential but it doesn't help playing behind Vince and Jefferson and Nochbar. I'm glad this happened, hopefully he can go to a place where he can actually get some PT. Aggie FTW!

Yea he's a good player, but he's not given the chance to prove it, hopefully he will somewhere else.
