The right question to ask is "What if KOC offered Matthews a reasonable contract around January when he knew he had a good player but he hadn't yet exploded to earn its Portland offer". Would an undrafted FA accept a reasonable offer (that is not a low-ball)? Me thinks yes. I don't think this affects the Jerry-DWill feud as it was a battle of the egos, rather a function of poor roster. We get to keep a nice SG, RayRay-lookalike rides the pine and then gets traded. Now we have a pawn on the board.
Thanks Obama! /and KOC/
