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

Sounds like Matthews cares more about money than winning.

Can you blame him? This is a business. Good luck Wes wherever you go. No way should we match 5+ million.

No Bodhi, as a RFA he can get a contract offer from any team for any amount they are under the cap up to the max. He can only get the MLE from teams over the cap. But under the cap teams can offer him what ever. What the MLE does is allow teams to go over the cap.

Of course no team with that kind of space is going to use that space on a roll player like Matthews because it takes away money from there space they are trying to use to get a star player.

Yeah I forgot that they changed the Rule when Gilbert bolted the Warriors for huge money.

If anyone offers him over 5 mil I let him walk and say good for him for getting that big contract. He should also send Deron about a 5th of that money for putting him on the map offensively.

5 year 25 million dollar contract with team options for the 4th and 5th would be a fair contract I think. If he doesn't improve, 5 million per for what he gave us this year is about right, maybe a little bit high but the Jazz can cut him loose after 3 years. He gets long term financial security, and if he continues to improve there is no reason the Jazz wouldn't re-up his deal for both option years.
