    I love Wes he's a grinder but why does everyone seem to think he is so damn irreplaceable? Wes was a KP guy not an Olshey guy. Not saying that Olshey does not like Wes just that Olshey does not have ties to Wes.

    Lockdown Defense. Every great team needs a Wesley Mathews. While not irreplaceable, it's hard to find a better value.

    I don't think he is untouchable. If you move Nic to SG he plays great D as well.

    Why? I all ready asked if people thought if he would go to the all star game and people laughed so what would you call it?

    SO you're either an all star or borderline NBA player in your book?

    Cho was hired on 7/19/10. Matthews was signed on 7/21/10. Technically was Cho, although I agree that KP's fingerprints were on it, as were Buchanan's.

    In any event Olshey does not have ties with Wes. As much as I like Wes he's a grinder and every winning team does need a player like Wes. I don't think he is irreplaceable. The Blazers are a very young team who have many holes. As it looks right now Lillard, Batum, Leonard and probably Aldridge, Barton are the only true bets to stay on this team for the long hall.

    You dont just get ride of wes for nothing. He is an above average nba player and a good fit with the team. You dont pass on an upgrade either.

    We could sure use Crawford and Felton right now. They might both make the All-Star team.

    Matthews was signed to an offer sheet by the Blazers on 7-10-10.
