ESPN Insider: Blazers eye Matthews (why?)

My 2nd favorite team, now thats a good FO. Trying to beat out your division rivals....

Instead like Utah handing OKC Maynor and now Aldrich...

Maynor didn't put up mind blowing numbers. Him and Price have pretty identical stats last season. And OKC almost dealt Maynor away to Indiana.

As for Aldrich....really? And I'm being serious.....REALLY?

And your point is? Hayward was the best player on a team that went to the Championship game. He also outperformed Wesley Johnson. I'm pretty sure there is a reason why the Jazz passed on Aldrich and took Hayward. A couple of other teams tried to trade up and get Hayward too. Hayward's ceiling > Aldrich's.

I sincerely hope if the Blazers do make Mathews an offer, its an outrageous one like Millsaps, then the Jazz don't match it so they have a MLE or maybe more type player rotting away on their bench. Maybe Portland should get in the business of actually trying to make offseason moves to address needs and better their team rather than trying to get back at another.

Wish the Jazz could do that too, but instead we got Mike Dunleavy jr jr.

Trying to beat out ANYONE would be a nice change. This is a business; you don't always have to be so nice.
 
Im going to LOL at Matthews if he signs with Portland. Where is he going to find playing time? With Utah he is a guaranteed starter, he can work his way up to an even better next contract. With Portland he is going to be behind Roy.
