Boozer also trying to convince Bulls to pursue Wes Matthews

[Darkwing Duck]

Sources indicate that Matthews is being offered Tyrus Thomas money by the Blazers.

How is that possible? I thought all he could be offered the equivalent of the MLE from any team?

5 years X 8 mill = 40 mill. lol Not even possible for the Blazers to offer that.

Looks like Matthews market is drying up a little. Redick signs 3y 20M offer sheet with Da Bulls

Korver and ReDICK will be getting 12 minutes a game.

Not sure why the Bulls would grab both of these guys. Oh well.

2 less white guys the pacers and jazz can sign!

Dynamite.

Not that I care, but how did I get baited in this? You said 5 @ 28. That's at the upper end of the MLE. Honz said Tyrus money. I said seeya Matthews. Where did I come out off in all this?

I like Mathews but not at full MLE. I think 3 and 9 or 4 and 12-13 sounds about right.

NO 4. 3 and something we can talk about. A 4 year deal for a 1st year player? That's insanity.

I don't think he has a whole lot of upside but at 4 and 12-13 he's not going to regress that much in that many years. He could be a steal of a contract in 4 years (I doubt it) but I don't think he would just become completely unproductive. I would be willing with the 4th year because of that. I would prefer 3 and 9 obviously.

Fair. But their should not be a 4 year deal for Matthews. He's way too unproven to go 4 years. I can see agreeing to it, but honestly I would not go 4 for 12 myself.
