No way the Jazz FO comes out of this without massive egg on the face. If they match that offer... well, NO WAY they should match that offer. They let Korver walk without so much as a half-hearted effort to keep him... Boozer's gone, and of course they don't seem to be doing ANYTHING ELSE!!

I can't stop giggling thinking how stupid Portland is now with a new, idiotic GM. Then I break out into a sweat thinking the Jazz will match. I'm in a good place, but I'm not. We're not really going to match this, right?

 

[Michael]

They should have been proactive and offered him a decent deal right at 12:01, This team is going in the wrong direction.

 

[shadler]

Maybe we can screw portland now and go after who ever they want now.My guess is that they got some kind of trade going there. Mathews is a good player but not that good. See how well he does playing in there system behind the bench. KOC DOOOOOOOOO NOT MATCH

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Here's how I see it going

"Jazz were stupid to match much money!"

OR

"Jazz are cheap and let another player get away"

Wesley Matthews has a unique skillset that cannot be replaced!

This is one of the easiest "no thank you"s in RFA history.

 

[David Stern]

Matthews has no potential in Portland, let them screw themselves.

I was on the fence when it was reported 5 yrs/25 mill, now that its 5 yrs/34 mill, I say no way. It will be sad to see him leave the Jazz, but I sure hope the Jazz don't match.

This.

Yeah, Griffin is making 5.3 M this year.

So Portland really thinks Matthews, in his second year, is worth the same as a number 1 pick?

No, but Matthews has shown that he can be a decent starter.

Utah should've known to offer more than a 1-year deal originally.
