Do we still have to wait until Monday before Matthews is official?

    I'm wondering why there hasn't been (a) an official announcement of the signing, followed by (b) a massive trade to bring in an All-NBA point guard yet.

    Yes we have to wait. There's still a small chance that Raja Bell could fail his physical and the Jazz would then match. Not likely, but still a chance nonetheless.

    Just waiting on Bell passing his physical. Could happen today, could happen tomorrow. I'm guessing we'll know before Monday, and then have the Tony Parker press conference on Tuesday!

    The Jazz actually have until COB Tuesday to decide about Matthews. Evidentally we delivered the offer by Pony Express.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Not official for a week after the actual signing or the Raja Bell signing becomes official, which is why the Chris Paul trade hasn't happened yet.

    I think if Utah officially signs Bell, they automatically forfeit matching rights to Matthews since they'll be unable to match.

    I think technically they can make a trade to get under the cap enough to sign Matthews also. (Not that I think they will though)

    Wouldn't they need to get 9 Million under the cap?

    Yeah, something like that, and they are now officially not only over the cap, but over the luxury tax line.
