Wesley Matthews possible

It hurts to think that the one player we need is Wesley Matthews. His skillset would put this current Jazz team over the top

I'd say we package Devin Harris plus draft picks for Wesley . then roll with Watson and Tinsley at PG

do you think its even possible or would portland just laugh

Agree. Matthews is a very good player, but he's not great. He's a complementary piece to Aldridge and Wallace. Through their first 16 games, Wes is averaging 13 pts on just under 42% FG and 36% from 3-pt range. Decent, but definitely not a top-tier shooter. I would even say he's overpaid with that kind of production. Certainly an upgrade over Raja, but we'd all be bitching if the Jazz had signed him to his current contract and he was that inconsistent through 16 games.

I really like Wes; I'm happy to see him go from an undrafted FA to starter. Loved his attitude and work ethic. But I'm happy with what Burks has shown to date. Jazz needed a guy who could drive and create his own shots. Alec can do that. Matthews had an entire training camp and almost half the season before he came in and started. It will be interesting to see where Burks is at in a couple of months.
 
What makes anyone think he's available? He's not a superstar but he doubles his opponents' production (holding starting SGs to a PER of 7) and is top-10 at his position at PPS (shoots a lot of threes, connects on a nice percentage, gets to the line and does all of this on and off the ball).

Seriously. That ship has sailed everyone.

Now, let's discuss how we're going to get DWill back.

That's actually a more realistic proposition (Deron being a free-agent and all and that Portland won't be trading Matthews for anyone anytime soon).
