    I just read Matthews and his agent are in Portland talking to the Blazers tonight. I think he is the best player the Blazers have been rumored to like.

    "Jazz restricted free agent Wesley Matthews and his agent both are in Portland tonight to meet face-to-face with the Trail Blazers. Matthews' camp has been in frequent touch with the Blazers, who last summer signed Jazz power forward Paul Millsap to a frontloaded four-year, $32 million offer sheet that Utah ultimately matched.

    That would be nice, I really dig Mathews as a player.

    I just hope his rookie year wasn't just a fluke. If it isn't, he could be a nice contributor to a strong Blazer squad. Who knows, maybe he can convince Deron to come with him... ;)

    I demand a Wes Matthews ESPN special. "The Other Decision."

    He's got to do what's right for Wes Matthews.

    The Blazers are only doing this so they can make excuses they won't do anything until the Jazz match.

    Where he will take 1 hour to announce his decision as to sign the Blazers offer sheet or not?

    Then we can follow it up with a 1 hour special where Utah announces their intent to match.

    Followed by an hour long made for TV special on Joseph Smith, exclusively on ESPN as narrated by Lebron James and sponsored by Melo's people of Utah.

    I like Mathews too. I assume he is in town to drive the price up with the Jazz. He would start In Utah for about the same money. Unless we offer the full MLE I can't see him leaving. And thats too much for him. It's worth a shot though.

    I kind of do too. But we would have to over pay him. BWTF, if Travis can get 7 million a year, Wes can get 5 million a year.

    At least it makes the Jazz use there MLE on one of their own players

    I doubt that. Matthews is only going to be a second year player and there's a bit of risk with guys who haven't been in the league for a little while. My guess is that he's probably going to get something like 4 million per year -- Steve Blake money.

    Well I think he only deserves 4 million. But Utah would match that for sure.

    What if Blazers sign Wes. Then trade Ruudy to the NYK for R. Turiaf.

    Wes and Ronny bring tough defense and rebounding. Not sure if RT will ever be healthy.
