From Hoopshype:

Brandon Bass isn't issuing a play-me-or-trade-me demand to the Orlando Magic. He is too nice, too soft-spoken to make a pronouncement like that. It's just not his way. This is just a gentle reminder. "I think they'll do the right thing, whatever is the right thing -- either play me next season or send me somewhere else. That's what I'm hoping,'' Bass told FanHouse earlier this week

The article goes on to say that the Magic have had him in trade talks all summer but no serious takers.

He's got a salary at $4 mil. While he's not the true "big man" we'd all like Utah to magically pull out of their arse, he is another physical frontline player who we could throw in there against the Lakers and would be an ideal back-up for Sap.

Obviously he would present a pretty big tax issue for Utah so it's probably pretty unlikely, but interesting to look at none the less......
 
So what they're saying is being soft-spoken makes him a small-mouth Bass?
I don't see him as much of a catch. What would we do with him?

There are only 96 mins at the 4/5.
When Okur comes back, you have Jefferson (35); Millsap (33); Okur (28) and Fes?
Without Okur, you go Jefferson (38); Millsap (35); Fes (10); AK (13).

I think the effort should be on finding a 5 to eventually replace Memo. I'd rather see AL slide over to the 4 as Millsap's backup (or have Paul come off the bench) instead of finding a backup for Paul and have Al play all his minutes at the 5. We need to get BIGGER.
 
Sad, but I think that Bass experience with the Magic will be Wesley's experience with the Blazers. Lesson should be learned by these young guys, dont chase the money. These guys are so damned greedy that they forget about what their experience will like be behind an allstar.

So you blame matthews for accepting an offer giving him 10 times the salary he made last season? Would you not accept a job offer that paid you 10 times your salary for doing the same thing?

I have turned down far more money for a better situation and benefit package. Besides he could have sigend with Jazz for 25 over 5 and Would be starting, numb nuts.
 
Can't find it.

If he's not happy in Orlando, why would he be happy in Utah sitting to watch Big Al, Milsap & Ak play ahead of him?

Jazz need atleast 2 more big men but they don't need a whinner.
 
Do you think it was his agent and not Wesley who turned down 25 for 5? We donot know the whole story. Apparently, KOC doesn't want to tell us what the Jazz offered. And his agent isn't talking. So we can only speculate. If we really want to know whether Wesley knew about the Jazz offer, someone needs to ask him.
