You may have already heard, Dorell Wright, circa 3 AM on Thursday, joined the list of recent Heat players with car troubles (see Carlos Arroyo link below).
The only thing more surprising than Dorell Wright's DUI arrest was the fact that his license had already been suspended. This can only mean one thing: his license will now be fully revoked.
What does this mean to Heat fans?
First, Dorell will now either be moving to one of several vacant condo buildings across from American Airlines Arena or you will soon be seeing him riding a bicycle over MacArthur Causeway to practices and home games.
Second, one has to wonder what implications this has for the 2010 offseason. If Dorell cannot drive a car in the state of Florida for the next year or two, then will he really want to resign with the Heat?
I did a little legal research, and it turns out that DMVs in all states share records, thus Dorell likely cannot run (or should I say drive) from his crimes.
What this does not rule out, however, is that he may now be tempted to sign with a team in a city with excellent public transportation or housing options near its arena (think the Knicks or Wizards).
In all seriousness, it is a shame to see Dorell Wright's mugshot in the morning paper. He has been nothing but a high character guy, to the best of my knowledge, since arriving in Miami. It is no question that he is Dwyane Wade's close friend and a popular guy in the Heat's locker room.
If we can draw any conclusions from this latest arrest, then it is that Dorell Wright suffers from bad judgment at times just like the rest of us. I mean, how could an NBA role player who barely made $1 million a year under his rookie contract justify buying a $250,000 Bentley?
