A Year After Being Undrafted, Wesley Matthews Set to Cash in

I like Matthews. He's a guy that can put the ball on the floor and make things happen. He can pass the ball, but he also can steal balls if need be. Thanks for reading.

Brewer needs the table set for him far more than Matthews ever did. But if you can get him for half the price, then fine.

I get the feeling Boston goes after Brewer, though, and would outspend us to do it (provided the Jazz make any move for him).
 
I'm fairly certain he can only be offered the full MLE from any team regardless of cap space etc. I'll try (this sentence is a complete lie) and look it up.

37. What is the "Gilbert Arenas" provision?

...

Teams are now limited in the salary they can offer in an offer sheet to a restricted free agent with one or two years in the league. The first-year salary in the offer sheet cannot be greater than the average salary
...
The second year salary in such an offer sheet is limited to the standard 8% raise. The third year salary can jump considerably -- it is allowed to be as high as it would have been had the first year salary not been limited by this rule to the average salary.
 
Well, Colton, the original question was about what teams could offer Matthews, which is a different question that what the Jazz can offer in an "offer sheet" to restrict his free agency rights, aint it?
 
The "offer sheet" is what other teams present restricted free agents, which they then can sign and allow the original team to match.
