[Rimcheck]

Man, I miss this kid.

[PrinceJL]

me too, as he reminded me much of B-Russ (one of my favs) but I still hate that contract based on only 1 year of work.

 

[cowhide]

I don''t think his contract was that bad. Yes the up front money was bad but the Jazz lost Matthews because they made the mistake of extending Okur when they didn't have to extend him. I was one of the few Jazz fans who wanted to keep Matthews regardless of the money because I thought the kid was going to get better. Wes has the "it" factor and you can tell that when he talks and plays. I understand it was a financial move but it was not a smart move. It may even look worse if Raja is not healthy.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Any information besides a video would be helpful. Not all of us have the capability to watch them all the time.

 

[DutchJazzer]

after years of searching for a sg jazz had 1 with potential all star potential and they let him walk away

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Can we just let Wes go already?
He's like the keys we dropped into a river of molten lava.

Let em go, cuz man, they're gone!

 

[Get Down]

jazz fans are going to boo matthews saturday and i'm going to laugh.

The game is in Portland. I don't know how many Jazz fans will be there, but I'm guessing the boos won't be heard over the Portland fans cheering.

Haha, owned.

Wesley is well on his way to another big game.

15pts, 8 rebs, 1 blk, on 6-13 shooting, 3-6 from 3.

At the half.

not so big second half 20 points 10 rebounds 2 assist 2 blocks total

 

[TeaM DimE]

Watching Wes play lately, makes me think 34 mil isnt that much money at all =(

 

[DutchJazzer]

if he keeps starting he might avg around 20ppg

 

[candrew]

I miss Matthews.

I miss Korver.

I'm starting to miss Brewer.

 

[twentytwo]

I miss Matthews.

I miss Korver.

I'm starting to miss Brewer.

Matthews, okay.

Korver, maybe.

Brewer? Gross.

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

Wes's hustle, rebounding, and ability to create off the dribble (compared to Miles, who gets to the rim and gets rejected more often than not) make me miss the dude. Usually I can get over losing a player, but I'm struggling with the Matthews situation.

 

[Harambe]

Brewer? Gross.

Brewer could cut. I'm not convinced any of our wings could make cuts/screens as good as he could.

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

Matthews can cut. He can also shoot it better.

</3

 

[Fishsticks]

Everyone in the media, League and Fans thought the contract was absurd. No reason to start bashing the decision now. It is what it is.

 

[ncoloradojazz]

If we had wes we could be a legit team to beat lakers in a 7 game series. Wes is starting to become the melo stopper. Dude can defend and isnt a offensive liabilty. Jazz made some good moves this offseason but letting wesley walk was not one of them.
