The body of missing former NBA player Lorenzen Wright has been found by law enforcement officials, according to multiple reports.

Wright’s uncle, Curtis Wright, says Memphis police have confirmed to family members that the body found in a wooded area in the southeastern part of the city is the former Grizzlies player, according to The Associated Press.

A law enforcement source also told The Commercial Appeal in Memphis that the body was Wright’s.

Wright had been missing since July 19, and his body was found by someone who called the police on Wednesday, the newspaper’s report said.

The Memphis Police Department did not officially comment, but it is investigating a 911 hangup call from Wright’s cellphone on Monday morning.

According to a police report released on Wednesday, Wright could have been a victim of foul play after he was thought to be seen carrying some amount of cash while leaving his ex-wife’s home in the nearby Memphis suburb of Collierville.

Wright’s former wife, Sherra Robinson Wright, 39, told police that she didn’t know who he left with or what type of car they were in.

Friends told The Commercial Appeal that Wright recently flew from Atlanta to Memphis to visit friends and his six children.

Wright had planned to drive back to the Atlanta area on July 19 with his children and a friend and was last seen at approximately 2 a.m. ET on July 19.

Wright was selected as the No. 7 overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft and played for five NBA teams during his 13 years in the league, which included five years with the Memphis Grizzlies after two seasons at the University of Memphis.

Who will be the NBA’s big bust next year?

It happens every year, someone gets traded or signs a big contract and they either get hurt or can not live up to the contract. Look at Elton Brand. He was an All-Star with the Clippers and signed a big contract with the 76′s and has been a bust. Stephon Marbury not much needed to be said there.
Vince Carter Salary – Magic: $16.3M 2010 | $17.3M 2011 | $18.0M 2012 (T)
Hedo Turkoglu Salary – Raptors: $9.00M 2010 | $9.80M 2011 | $10.6M 2012 | $11.4M 2013 | $12.2M 2014 (P)
Eddy Curry Salary – Knicks: $10.5M 2010 | $11.3M 2011

Look at some past contract below

Kenyon Martin: seven years, $92.5 million (2004)
Allan Houston: six years, $100 million (2001)
Keith Van Horn: six years, $73 million (1999)
Keith Van Horn: one year, $4.3 million (2008)
Vin Baker: seven years, $86 million (1999)
Jermaine O’Neal: seven years, $126.6 million (2003)
Bryant Reeves: six years, $64 million (1997)
Ben Wallace: four years, $60 million (2006)

And the list goes on and on. So we all know it is bound to happen. A player having a great year get a big contract then does not live up to the money.

I think it will be Amare Stoudemire on the Knicks.

Who do you think it will be?

Larry Hughes five years, $70 million (Cavaliers, 2005)

Chris Paul’s rumored efforts to leave New Orleans may be gaining steam.

The Hornets’ three-time All-Star point guard has accelerated his efforts to leave the team, according to a CBSSports.com report Thursday, citing a person with “direct knowledge” of the situation.

“He wants out,” the source said, according to CBSSports.com. “He wants to play with another superstar. He wants to follow LeBron’s model of teaming up with other great players.”

Paul’s list of preferred destinations includes the Knicks, Magic and Lakers, the report said.

If the Lakers get Paul it will make things a lot more interesting between the power house Lakers and possible power house Miami.
