    S&T is not an option after he actually signs the offer sheet.
    The only choices are to match or not. No other options are available at that point.

    I can't see why he would want to stay now. Good luck Matisse.

    I mean, if he is not OK and Portland does not have anything they want from Dallas, they can still match and find a deal later. But, with him "being" from the PNW from his college days and him mentioning it, I can't imagine he will have an issue with staying

    The rumors are blazers going to match any offer sheet for him.

    This is a fifty fifty coin toss for me. Not sure we are getting value added at the offer sheet price. Will he really move the needle one way or the other. Could be what you see is what you get and he has reached his upside.

    There's no argument. You match. That's the end of the discussion.

    Shae and Sharpe? He can play the 3 just fine. We need defenders

    He'll be a great tag team with Rupert if that's the way they choose to go. You need a bench and we're really going to need a bench with rookies starting

    We gave up assets to get this dude. He's young. His deal seems very affordable. No reason not to match.

    Simons needs to be moved.
    Johnson needs to show he's an NBA level player.
    Having both of those players on the roster are not reasons to re-sign/match the contract of Thybulle. You take the better player...

    We let talent walk when we gave Hart up, as well as many other moves the last few years. A number of posters here are looking at contracts like it's still 1999 with SPAM. It's not, Jody has never paid the luxury tax. Beyond that she's
    avoided it more than just about any ownership group in the league. Thybulle is a luxury the cheap Blazers cannot afford.

    If we match it's more likely we have to give up a pick for another team to eventually take this contract than the chance we gain anything.

    Agreed. I like him at $7-9mil, but not at $14mil. However, it's not my money but as good as he is on defense, he's a liability on offense as defenders sag off him on half court plays.

    No reason to cut Watford either and they did. So would not be surprised either way.

    I never understand why posters talk about the Apron with the Blazers. The Blazers are staying below the luxury tax, the apron is irrelevant.
