Matthews: Jazz never made me an offer. I would have accepted less.

[Stifle Tower]

That big salary's yet another success story for Wes. I still like him and I'm glad for him.

This.

I will always like Wesley Matthews. He's what's right with pro sports. Give me a team of Wesleys over LBJ any day.

 

[David Stern]

Love Wes, but sadly I don't think he'll do anything for a while. Hopefully i'm wrong.

I just don't get why KOC chose to give players like Gaines and Jeffers a 2nd year non-guranteed at the team's discretion and didn't bother to do that for Matthews regardless of how we thought he would do last year.

Hahaha. If Gaines or Jeffers received an offer from another team for2X what they are worth the Jazz would let them go as well. They have the same type of contracts as Mathews had.

You're right. And that'll be good for Jazz so they can give Wes a second contract at a good price and have him finish his career here. Here's to Raja lasting until then (just an 2 additional years).

Thank you for agreeing with me. I like your username because it is the car I, the rich commish, drive.

He will be missed. He was one of my favorite players, as I'm sure he was to many of you. The offer was ludicrous. Good for him, and I wish him the best of luck from here on out.
Don't be bitter with D-Will and Co. stomp you. =]

Oh, come on, we all know this is complete and utter bull****. We all know you don't drive a Bentley - your chauffeur does.

Speaking of that, how is it getting tagged team by Kobe and Lebron?

From Ross Siler vis Twitter:

"Kevin O'Connor usually chooses his words carefully but he was blunt in refuting idea that Jazz didn't try to make offer to Wesley Matthews".

"O'Connor told reporters to call Matthews' agent and ask what really happened behind scenes".

"Jazz felt there was little attempt to negotiate on Matthews' end".

Things actually happen "behind the scenes," that Jazzfanz aren't immediately informed of!? Like, who knew, I ax ya!? Does this mean that just because you aint privy to sumthin, it coulda happened anyway? Whooda thunk?
