    I think Wes is going to go to what team gives him the most money and there will be some desperate teams that will take a risk and overpay Mathews hoping he will come back 100%. I think we make a nice offer to Wes but I think some team is going top panic and give him 50m.

    Actually you didn't, the software puts the posts in time date order. See Santee's is first.

    I don't think he said, "No" as in a definitive "no", but in a way that people will answer questions with a "no".

    Almost like a version of "you know" or "yeah, no"

    Or like "do you have any idea if you're coming back to Portland?"

    "No, I don't have any idea if I'm coming back. I'm not going to say anything that makes it appear as tho I am, so I won't screw myself out of a better deal".

    His mamma didn't raise no dummy, he dug our rap...

    If Wes doesn't come back to Portland, I hope he ends up in San Antonio or Chicago. It was painful when JR Rider went to the Lakers. :( Fuck that franchise.

    Fwiw...

    Neil was non-committal to Wes during his exit interview.

    Maybe that's why Wes seems a bit salty and very ...LA.

    RE2UrN or Not, I will never NOT boo a Los Angeles Laker. Even if my family members were on the team, I would boo the fuck out of them.

    Smoke and Mirrors. Wes wants to get Paid, and as a top five SG in this league he should. I wouldn't expect him to play anything but hardball, hopefully Neil can make it work..

    He knows Aldridge is gone. We have little to bargain with to get anyone else, are still 2-3 quality starters short, and he needs a huge contract or pathway to his next career because he probably will never play the same.

    We are starting our 4th or 5th rebuild in the last 15 years and our wallet is empty.

    If this is all in fact true...

    Tell me how good Mr OneLifeToLive is again? What would have accomplished in his three years? Granted a jumping a lil too soon here.

    How is the wallet empty?

    They have cap space.

    he WAS maybe a top 5 SG, with that Achilles rupture that is now very, very much in doubt. I like Wes but if some dumb GM wants to pay him big and for several years it is an easy adios muchacho
