What would you give up for Matthews?

[twentytwo]

Not much, and nothing that Portland would take.

 

[freakazoid]

I'd give up Maynor, but only if Portland agreed to take Harpring as well.

 

[chemdude1232]

He's not worth his salary.




Is he?

 

[Jazz4ever]

You're all retarded, of course Maynor isn't on the Jazz. Ya'll can dish out the jokes but can't take em.

I'm just saying, who wouldn't do what they could to get Matthews back on the team? Its a sincere question - would you trade Evans for Matthews?

The Jazz cannot afford Matthews, he would cost them around $14 million dollars this year with luxury penalties. He is a slight upgrade from Bell and Miles but hardly a game changer.

FYI

Matthews is shooting 17% from beyond the arc and us averaging 10 ppg so far this season. How much of an improvement is that over what we currently have?...not much.

His stats in Portland aren't great but they really don't bother me. He is a better player than either Miles or Bell and he was born to play in The Jazz' system.

He'll be back in Utah someday - but unfortunately it will be a while.

 

[NotDeadYet]

It is very unlikely we would trade with the Trailblazers. I think most of us here realize this...

 

[KM32MVP]

Id rather have greg buckner

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I would trade Crotty, and the rights to Karl Malone.
I would also throw in Almond just so they get a young player to fill his spot.

Before people get all "stat" on us, we dont want him for his stats.
We want him for his smile, and because he's a nice guy with a good story.
Every team needs a Rudy.

Can everyone please stop clinging to Wes Matthews? Like a jilted lover you're still clinging to him. Let it go!
The issue isn't whether he'd help the team (obviously he would) or if he's talented (obviously he is). It's the fact that at-best he's a very good-role player and he has a 5-year $32.5 million contract. That's too much to pay for that - especially with a new CBA in place after this season - and if the Jazz learn anything from the Okur/AK extensions (although in fairness they thought AK was a star in the making) it's not to overpay someone who's isn't or can't be your top-dog.

You dont get it do you.
We cant, we love him, and he loves us.
(insert cheezy love song lyrics here)

Cmon slice... you know you love him too!
