$8mm? Dude's cap hit is just a hair over $6mm, and his salary is even less.

Yep, I was off by $1M/per. He signed a contract for 5/$34M, which is just a shade under $7M/per over the life of the deal (don't know why I had a $40M number stuck in my head). The $9M signing bonus is spread evenly over the 5 years for cap calculations. So you can say his current "salary" is less, but then you'd also have to say his salary last season was $14M! In any case, whether it's $6.5M, $7M cap hit or a "salary" of $5M+, my original statement stands; I'd much rather have Hayward/Burks making what they do than a Matthews at his price.

There is a lot more pressure on FT's than there is on a wide open layup. Have you never played basketball?

Yes I have and do. I understand the pressure and this is my last post about this because its a silly argument but an easy shot or not its not "garbage time" in a 3 point game. Garbage time is down by 20 at the end of the game and subs come in.

This has little to do with this thread though.

I dont think we suffered at all from having Bell out defensively and definitely not offensively, but we did not shut Matthews down he had an off game.

I still like Bell on the team but he needs to come of the bench and play less minutes.
 
14 and 3 is not a "bad year" in and of itself.... BECAUSE .... wait for it............there is another side to the basketball floor! If he's holding the guy he's defending to a PER of 7 while putting up 14 and 3, does that make it a bad year? I'm seriously curious as a mother****er

Not that I said it was, but that's why you need to also look at shooting %. I just think Matthews is overrated by many on this board. And especially so if you also factor in his salary/cap amount.
 
Was listening to DJ and PK interview Dan Sheldon who is now covering everything Portland said Matthews is not playing well not shooting well and not showing up on defense. He didn't come out and say he was lazy on defense but it almost sounded as if that is what implying. Did anyone else hear that interview?

I have been saying all along he has not played that well this season and those people who think we should have broke the bank and matched Portland's offer are wrong. Hayward will be better. Matthews has 4 years on Hayward.
