He was wearing it prior to signing with us. Raja earns his contract and my forgiveness when he punches Kobe in the jaw.

UPDATE 7:35PM PDT: ESPN is reporting that Raja's joining the Utah Jazz. Maybe the photo was a well-timed negotiating ploy?

Price can't run the fast break very well and he seems to make his fair share of boneheaded decisions.

Not a fan, but to each their own.

I was a little bit negative about it before we signed him but now I am drinking the KoolAid. I think the price is not too bad. Might regret that last year but oh well. I guess I just thought he was going to be a Laker. It is nice to read all the LA fans cry about not getting him though.

I think you are brainwashed into believe that this isn't the best case for both the Jazz and Matthews. He already stated he wouldn't accept a home team discount. So would you still want him for what Portland is paying him?

There is no hope with regards to Matthews... Move on, shows over man.

They certainly have an owner who can afford it but in the near future they still might think twice before coming out with these ridiculous offers for backups.

Too risky with a new CBA on the horizon or lockout for that matter. Get in and get your money now.

Great point.

Are you going to keep harping on this? Think with your head and not with your heart. Matthews was set to be overpaid by the Jazz or the Blazers. Thank god the Blazers went mental and offered him so much. Glad he got his money. Glad we aren't paying it to him.

A Matthews discount would have been what though? I don't feel sorry at all for Wes. He just was signed for nearly 34 million dollars. We need to stop thinking with our hearts and more with our heads.

Not likely, not without playing time and Deron IMO. Wes will be a decent role player... Nothing more or less.

Exactly. The Jazz for once seem to be making moves with their head and not with their heart.

It would be nice to hear what figures he would have actually accepted. Something tells me it wasn't much less than the 33.4 million he was signed for. Sorry Wes, this was a business decision and we are glad you made your money. We couldn't afford another bad contract. Good luck in Portland.

I will wait to see what he actually does before I pass judgment on this.

I hope you are kidding.

Maybe Portland will stop trying to do this with our players every season. Then again, probably not. I will say that if they can't package Matthews at some point to get CP3 then they will really regret this move.
