Rookie contract means nothing regarding any possible trades. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the pay scale for rookies is pretty much determined, meaning that Wright was bound to get paid - be it by the W's or any future team.

If anything, having money committed to Wright would help a trade for KG, considering you'd have to trade dollar-for-dollar (unless, like the Bobcats, a team is severely under the salary cap).
