Yes, eat it Blazers. I hope they aren't able to package Matthews in a deal for Paul but this to me teaches them a lesson. They are paying a ton for a backup. It might not hit them that hard considering Allen, but they figured we would match and it would hurt us down the road.

Suck that Portland.
Good luck to Wes, if you ever see the court.

I'm glad the Jazz are confident in the direction their going.
I'll say one last time, that I'd like to see the Jazz swing for Marco Belinelli, third guard and shooter.

They're happy to hold Matthews and trade him....if they can.

3 year 10 million Raja > 5 year 34 million Matthews.
2 guards for the price of Wesley.
Not bad.

They can't trade him until December if I remember the CBA.

They MIGHT find it hard to trade that contract. Who knows.

Yeah, can't say I'm surprised. I wish Wesley well and to play well for 78 games next year.

This is very reassuring. Matching Sap made sense at the very least because he was proven as one of the best backups in the league at his position, and a big man which you always pay more for. Worst case, he's only a backup and you slightly overpay on the backend for that. With Wes, you're drastically overpaying a guy who isn't proven at a position where there are always bargains. For KOC to have made both these choices signifies he isn't emotional in the process which is the right way to be.
Good luck to Wes, and I sincerely hope he makes us regret it. He's one of the good guys, I'll root for him, but this was the right decision for the Jazz whether he makes us regret it or not.

Have a great year Wes, you were my second favorite player. Just don't do good against the Jazz. Love the Bell signing. I think KOC realize we need defense to beat the Lakers

Suddenly it's apparent that Sloan players are showing up in SLC. I feel bad for Kotas but the rest is great.
