Max Out Matthews?

But, out of the cap room, Portland should have some holds for their draft pick, correct, thereby reducing what they could offer Wes?

Basically, I want Portland's cap to dip under 8 million. That way we all but guarantee Wes is gone.

Can Portland go over the cap to sign him?
Thier owner is rich iirc

Huh? 30% is respectable?
Did you mean Trey's respectable 3-point shooting? AS bad as Trey has been, he's >>>>>Exum as a shooter. And that's a scary thought if you're a Jazz fan.

He's gonna improve. Research the flavor of crow, por favor.
 
Matthews shouldn't have Bird Rights should he? He was not drafted signed a deal with Utah, then left as a FA to Portland. Matthews should be a free man this summer.

Even without bird rights..... the question is whether Portland can go over the cap to sign him
I don't think paul allen is afraid of luxury tax
 
Well, if Portland retains his bird rights, I'm not sure he leaves at all. Portland has a new tv deal coming up and cash is not an issue. Dang.
 
Well, shoot. I'm off the Wes Matthews train. Onto DeMarre Carroll. That dude doesn't have Bird Rights. Lol.

I hope he does. Right now his shooting is far from respectable and that was my point.
We had hoped Trey would improve...counted on it. And his averages are about what they were last season. A slight uptick in February (40% overall for the month), but let's see if it holds.

As for Matthews, I say we give him a call and tell him we'll offer a max deal. Force Allen to beat our price (if he does) and screw up their payroll. Payback's a bitch and he deserves it.

I support this plan on Matthews... we can either steal a key cog back or make it hurt for them to add around them in the future.

And we'd only have to clear space WHEN Matthews officially signs a deal. That's when we'd release Booker and renounce our exceptions. We give Matthews 24 hours to consider our offer; he goes back to Portland and negotiates a bigger deal OR takes ours. If he re-signs, we move on to Plans B and C.
