Mathews signs offer sheet w/Blazers (5 yrs/34 mil)

[Chad Feldheimer]

Looking at Artest's deal from last year it has about 7%ish raises each year. That may have been bumped up. I figured the full MLE exception for 5 years with 7% raises at about 33M. So I might have been off by a million total.

How does that work?
Portland is over the cap so all they can offer is the MLE starting about 5.8Mish? with 7% annual raises that would not equal 40M after 5 years.

Year 1: 5.8M
Year 2: 6.2M
Year 3: 6.6M
Year 4: 7M
Year 5: 7.5M

Total: 33.1M

Or am I calculating wrong?

Repost from page 1.

Probably very similar to how the contract will look.

No way should the Jazz match that.

Someone posted earlier some figures that indicated that IF Matthews started out with $4 million a year, then, with 10% raises, we would have earned $25 million after 5 years. I don't know if that's accurate, but if so, we're really jus talking about a $4 million offer, with standard raises.

Edit: I now see the lastest report is $34 million. How does this work out, as a "startin" salary, assumin no front-loadin?

In rough numbers, he makes 5.7 to start. He can get 8.5 percent raises thereafter. I haven't computed the numbers, but 5.7 * 5 = 28.5. The raises might get him there, or there may even be a signing bonus involved, though I'm not sure how that correlates to the CBA.

Paul Allen is a bitch who can't work the draft, and for 2 years in a row is leeching of the Jazz to find talent.

Chad, are you plannin on keepin that signature long? The reason I ask is that it slows down my computer quite a bit whenever is appears on my screen. Same with Mambo's, for some reason.

The Blazers offered their full midlevel exception in a frontloaded contract that includes a $9.2 million payday in the first year in hopes it would be too expensive for the Jazz to match and keep Matthews, the source said.

WOWWWWWWWWW.

Well done, Wesley Matthews.
