I bet you were all for giving AK a max contract without letting him test the market, weren't you?
KOC is a *****

Wes was not bringing us home a championship, Dope
Scenario 1: Jazz submit a lowball qualifying offer, Wes shops around, receives offer from Blazers, Jazz decide not to match.
Scenario 2: Jazz make no offer, Blazers make same offer they would have made w or w/o Jazz QO, Jazz decide not to match.
Choose your own adventure, but the end is always the same.

I wonder if the people who complain really think their complaints all the way through.
Jazz don't offer Matthews >>> Matthews goes out and gets a sick offer, Jazz don't match.
Jazz offer Matthews >>> Matthews goes out and gets a sick offer, Jazz don't match.
It is the same ****ing thing.
EDIT: Damn, Bronco beat me.

I have to love this thread. We just traded for Al Jefferson and signed Raja Bell and you guys are bitching about KOC not resigning Matthews? If he puts up 5 PPG next year i'll be shocked.

I would have personally thought they would have learned from last year, when they had to match such a big offer for Millsap because they didn't just make one to begin with. Apparenly we don't learn our lessons.

This is the bad side of these young guys dealing with agents. An agent is ALWAYS gonna push for more $$$. If a player wants to stay with a team, he needs to get tough with his agent and tell him that his FIRST PRIORITY is to stay for a "reasonable" salary. I have to wonder if Wes just let his agent do what comes naturally; look for the most $$$... Too late now; really hated to lose him...

WTF are you talking about? Jazz got the better end of that deal...
Paul Milsap your starting/heavy rotation PF for 6M this year? Yeah just awful.

As has already been mentioned, it was Matthews who flat-out said he "wasn't going to give Utah a home-team discount". Sounds like he's talking out both sides of his mouth a bit. Not only that, I don't know who his agent is, but do you honestly think that had Utah presented a formal offer Matthew's agent was going to blindly let him sign it without testing the open market? Sorry, but the over-inflated Blazer offer was going to come regardless of whether the Jazz offered him a deal or not.
I hate to make it sound like I'm bashing Wes because I'm not. I love the guy as a player. However, in reading about his suprise that Utah didn't match you can tell he's just a young kid who just got his heart broken a little. While I'm sure he doesn't regret the new payday you can just tell he is a little upset about not returning to Utah. I wish him the best and hope he's the lone bright spot for Portland in the coming years.
Speaking of Portland, they're probably ******** their pants right now. Utah called their bluff. They just paid $34 million for a back-up and they'll still be looking up at Utah in the standings by the end of next year. How is that good business?

Some of the comments about Matthews on here are really stupid, and I mean moronic. I'm a Jazz fan but when my team or whomever I'm associated with behaves in a disrespectful manner, I won't respect them. My take on this was that instead of giving Matthews a fair, reasonable offer, they low balled him with a QO of 937 K, yes that's what it was because I looked it up, and told him to let the market dictate, in the shrewd, wiseass manner of KOC, and like Kiri said, KOC didn't learn his lesson, and sure enough, as Aint/Hopper always says, Portland bit him in the ***, just like they did with Millsap.
So, you can't really blame Portland, can you? KOC never even made a fair offer to Matthews. That's what I call disrespecting. If he made a respectable offer, then Matthews would've accepted. He actually admitted that in the interview. So, will you guys take off your blindfolds and look at the reality of the situation, please.
