Julian Wright "Tweets" Possible Trade Demand
Recently I have begun to notice that NBA players are using their Twitter feeds to pretty much get everything off their chest.
New Orleans Hornet reserve Julian Wright decide to post this tweet which appears to have undertones that he wants to be traded from New Orleans before the NBA Trade Deadline.
Although the comment itself seems open-ended, it would not surprise me that the Hornets might fine Wright due to the notion of public image for the franchise. You really just can't have players Tweeting their want of a trade over the interweb, it makes your organization look unstable.
In Wright's case, he should have gone to Hornets head coach and GM, Jeff Bower to express his want of a trade or his current unhappiness of his current situation.
I like to call, Twitter, "the double-edge sword". It's a great way to keep in touch with people and fans but you also have the issues of accidentally tweeting something that you didn't want to get out.
I think this time "Wright" did the wrong thing.
