Now that Matthews is officially gone, what about Fes?

Well, I'm not really a mind reader, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Now this makes sense.

If this is so true why is he playing for his national team this summer, just trying to quailify for the European Championships in the future? Not saying he is the hardest working person in the world, but the guy still has a lot of upside.

Fes is a lazy Marlboro smoking Euro trash player who will never be anything more than a guy who comes in to hack other big men. No commitment to the game. Only to the dollar signs.

Can you imagine Fes in Portland. That place has one of the best bar scenes in the U.S. There's a bar in almost every restaurant. Portland would be the end of Fes's career.

Potland is at 12 players and 67 or 68 million. With Aldridge, Camby, Pryzbilla, and Oden I can't imagine what they'd do with Fes. Maybe they really do just hate the Jazz.

Did anyone else catch the end of the KOC commments about Mathews yesterday, one of the sportswriters asked Fes, KOC said he was next. The writer followed up with what sounded like "what about the rumours that Portland is interested in Fes?" To which KOC replies jokingly -Yea, we'll see if Paul Allen has any more money.

I read that this morning and had to chuckle a bit. Because it's so obvious what the Blazers true intentions were with these contracts. Koc also said that the statement Matthews made about signing for less with the Jazz was untrue, "call his agent for yourself", he said.

Portland has too many players under contract now.

 

[David Stern]

Like Portland cares how many players they have under contract.

 

[unluckyseventeen]

The Blazers can only offer their bi-annual exception at this point. It is an interesting rumor - that the Blazers wanted us to vastly overpay for Matthews, making a match for Fes unlikely. That could be true. Portland does need some size inside. And they have a gazillion guards.

Oden, Camby and Przybilla aren't big enough? Half of their roster will be centers.

 

[Jeditiger]

I say ink the big rah-tard to a one year deal, worth around the veterans minimum, with a team option for a second. If he doesn't like that, then have fun in Europe.

Money. If he doesn't play even NBA teams who don't want their players to play necessarily would question his commitment to anything. Fes is a big goof who only cares about the dollar signs oh and "love loven the interwebs."
