...looks like he's doing some kind of hopper dance...so I'd say no! We need fundamentally sound players with athletic ability....not ESPN highlight clowns who are more interested in themselves rather than the team!

I don't see how he couldn't be. Put him on the Paul Millsap (salary) track and see where the road leads. He might even be able to help us this year, although I don't see a lot of minutes for him unless somebody gets hurt.

Is there anyone who actually believes he won't make the roster?

Tom Nissalke seemed uncertain during the post game comments, but I think after further review he was talking about being in the top 10 on the team or some nonsense.

A lot of people around the organization think that he is going to play THIS year.
If the Jazz are smart they will give him a deal similar to what Millsap signed his rookie year that has team options for years 2 and 3. Will help avoid a Mathews situation.
I still can't believe that the Jazz once they realized that he was going to be their starting 2 guard didnt just offer a guranteed extension. Still bugs me. KOC is a really good GM, but there is no doubt that he plays things a little too conservative sometimes.

After 20,000+ posts here, has anyone ever called you out for being fake as ****?
Seriously people, the **** he posts is so ridiculous its almost funny.....and racist......and stupid......and......smart?
Two flaws with that plan. First, you can't extend a one-year contract. Also can't extend a two or three-year contract. To extend any contract, you have to be at least three years into the deal...so there was no way to extend Matthews.
Second, Matthews also knew he was their starting 2 guard and that he was going to get a raise in the summer. Even if the Jazz could have offered an extension, why would he have signed it? Unless they offered big money (which they couldn't), I'm sure he would ahve taken his chances in the summer.

Fair enough. Did not know the extension rules.
It still would have been a risk for Mathews not to sign an extension. Could have gotten seriously injured, or found no market in the summer. None-the-less the situation I think clearly showed that the Jazz had no clue what they had with Mathews.
At the point the contract was signed. (before training camp) no one in the entire league new what the Jazz had in Mathews. Thus the reason he went undrafted. Utah at least thought he had potential thats why he was in camp but before the injuries to Korver and CJ not may people any place thought he would even make the team.
Ahh, that's some classic CJ right here folks.

I'm on the Evans bandwagon, I will love him like I did Sap when he first came to the Jazz. Hustle and determination, I love that!
Yep. CJ has been posting this stuff since most board members were in diapers.

My complaint is that they didn't sign him to a two year deal (with second year being a team option possibly) to begin with. When it comes down to it, even if they didn't have an option and it was simply a two year deal, what do you have to lose when the contract's at that cheap a price tag?
