    Isn't Wes young (like 25)? Cheap contract? Tough as nails? Still getting better? Works hard? A leader in a lot of ways? A solid SG (though, admittedly, not a big standout)?

    Unless we get something that will people say, "Wow, that team gave up a lot to acquire Matthews," dealing Wes makes no sense for Portland.

    What the hell I'll just throw Tyreke Evans playing along side Damian Lillard out there?

    That Blazersedge link was from Oct 24th.

    Not for sure we could do better with cap space over what Wesley brings.

    Old News! Didn't make sense then and doesn't now! How is this rookie who's gone rogue on my forum continued to post here! Denny?

    Would he have made this prediction if he knew Damian would be putting up 20/6 with a 20 PER 12 games into the season?

    Hollinger does not watch basketball. He reads stat sheets and makes projections based on what he sees in print.

    We have 2 guards worth keeping/playing. Wes and Lillard.

    Re: John Hollinger says Wes Mathews will the traded by the feb. 23rd trading deadline

    I am so happy right now with where the Blazers are. Top six should not be touched unless there is an obvious upgrade. Lillard, Wes, Batum, Aldridge, Hickson and Aldridge are all hard working fun to watch players with talent. Enough trying to trade these guys. We are young and not going to be good this year, but we are fun to watch and well set up for the future as DL and ML mature, we have cap space in the offseason, and might end up with a draft pick. After next offseason, if the Blazers don't look right, then trades would be better to look at
