Best part of this deal is that the Laker fans are crying about losing out on Bell. Saying how he doesn't want to win a ring etc etc. I guess they don't understand that 10 million>1.8 million.

I hope you are right and Gaines is gone.

I wouldn't go that far. He is guaranteed 34 million dollars over the next 5 years. Even with taxes that will leave him with what? 21 million dollars? Glad you got paid Wes, even happier it wasn't with us for that price.

Gaines can't make free throws and he is a terrible jump shooter. I would get rid of him, but that is just me.

Blazers will regret this deal if they can't use Wes and a package to get Paul. We are paying a proven guy over a span of many years 3 years and 10 million. They are paying a guy who could be good but likely won't get much of a chance with them 5 years and 34 million. Eat it Blazers.

Yes, eat it Blazers. I hope they aren't able to package Matthews in a deal for Paul but this to me teaches them a lesson. They are paying a ton for a backup. It might not hit them that hard considering Allen, but they figured we would match and it would hurt us down the road.

I like the move a lot. He might be 34 but he is a lock down defender still when the refs aren't picking on him. Nice move Jazz.

He looks like Jazz material. Nice and white.

Next year? Maybe. We'll see.

That sounds sad and realistic.

While it is not your money entirely(money you might spend buying merchandise etc) it still hampers us down the line in years to come. So the question is whether you want to pay Matthews a lot more than he is worth to us or use that money wisely and fill out our remaining needs?

It won't really matter. LA might have the first and only crack at him. I am going to be happy if we get Brown to tell you the truth.

I am just daydreaming of a front line of Jefferson and Tomic. Would that make Paul be a bench player once again or would he be traded?

Good points. AJ wasn't a solve all solution but he is a very nice addition. I think they will re-sign Fes and that will be that unfortunately. Next year they will try to lure over Tomic. We'll see though.

I voted for Barnes. I would like Brown as well. No doubt we would love to keep Matthews but at that price it isn't realistic. I would be disappointed if we opted to re-sign Matthews and let the Blazers off the hook.

He is 34 I believe. I still am not too sure I would want him. What would he cost first of all?

According to Marc Stein it is Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter.

Now I can see why people refer to you as a fake poster with threads like this.

That would be nice. Will they though? I hope so.
