If I was given the chance to choose Wes or Hayward straight up for a dollar, I'd choose Hayward. That's no knock on Matthews who I think is going to be a valuable sub for a long time. But Wes' ceiling is obvious. Limited athleticism and build, limited skills, infinite hustle and heart. What little I've seen of Hayward shows me he has more size, talent, and upside than Wes can dream of. He may not realize it. And Wes would most likely help us more THIS year. But Hayward will be the better player before it's done.

Wes over AK? That's too silly to even address. Wes had a wonderful game against Memphis. One of those nights. I hope, for our sake, Portland thinks he should start permanently. That would be wonderful.
Wes Montgomery, West Coast Blues.
...in case you were wondering if this was over everyone's head.

Jazzfanz = Sparta?
It’s likely Matthews could well be the one who got away. Sure, Matthews was signed for Millsap money but isn’t the MLE the going rate for a starting SG who could probably bring around 15ppg and solid defense.
The Jazz right now are paying the equivalent of close to Matthews’ salary this year for the collection of a washed-up Bell and scrubs like Watson and Elson, when matching Wes plus a couple of cheaper 3rd stringers would’ve probably been a better deal. And with next year AK’s max coming off the books and Okur an expiring, they could’ve adjusted other signings accordingly.
I started this Bring back Wes thread before Matthews’ 30-point, 5 3-pointer game, hoping Portland might still think he wasn’t a good fit. Oh well.
