Exclusive Wesley Matthews Appreciation Thread

Poor Matthews... Doesn't look like he will get too much attention in Dallas

i think this pisses me off more than batum or aldridge or rolo. i get why allen didnt want to gamble on post injury after our history of gambling with injuries. but damnit i love me some wes matthews. I thought we had won his heart with the #withwes campaign but i guess he was never even given an offer to test loyalty. i wish him success in every aspect of his career except when he plays the blazers.

What was the shitty was he went out? He didn't want to be here.

This one hurts the most. He was the heart and soul of our team. I hope he comes and rains down three and Olshey and PA for letting him walk. I thought with the wise decision (great) of letting Batum go, that it would make sense for the Blazers to make a run(albeit it futile) and LMA, and also a run at Wes. But not to even make him an offer or pick up the phone, what an insult to the one who made this entire team click.

I am still trying to figure out why Paul Allen has gotten over the Jail Blazers era and is so Luxury Tax paranoid to spend the money to put a Championship Team on the Floor.

Any back to Wes, Portland is going to regret the day that they let you walk. If anyone can come back from an Achilles Heel injury it is Iron Man.

All the best to Wes.

Where's his thank you Blazers letter? I loved Wes. My favorite Blazer of the modern era but it was too big a gamble to give him a long contract

I feel that Wes is waiting until it's official, after he signs the contract. He still has his Blazers pic on Twitter, and hasn't said ANYTHING as of yet.

 

[BlazerManiac]

I know a long term contract is a risk, however we could always do what we did with Brandon Roy and amnesty him if the injury was to much for him to come back from.

Only if you're banking on an amnesty clause in the new CBA. We used the last one on....Roy.

I do not think the owners will let that one go especially with the new TV Contracts and the ungodly salaries that will be coming.

This Kat hasn't said shit to us, so I will just sweep him with Rolo and Aldridge. I guess he's okay in my book.

 

[Chrionex]

I wouldn't count out the Wes and Rolo fan letters yet. Wes hasnt said anything about anything.

That just doesn't seem like their style.

Why would he say s*@t to us, Olshey, and PA did not even pick up the phone to try and bring him back. I am sure they told LMA's agent he would get a Max Contract if he stayed (I think deep down they were hoping he wound not). All their eggs were focused on LMA in the press, they made no comments about Wes at all that they would want to retain his services so again why would he say anything in the press that he would want to come back.

PA and Olshey handled it very poorly.

Well, the fans weren't the ones that did that to him. So if he feels its necessary to include the fans, who cheered their heart out for him, in his "silence", then he can eat a big fat dick!

Wes and rolo prob drinking away their sorrows knowing it doesnt get better than rip city.

 

[RoyToy]

Wes is in a better situation

 

[riverman]

Wes is in a better situation

Playing with Raymond Felton might put a damper on that

Thank you, Wes. Thank you for your defense, your bring it attitude, your 3-point shooting. Thank you for helping shut down Houston in 2014. Thank you for keeping your head up when no one drafted you, working, and earning a roster spot, and finally a big contract.

Here's to you, Wessy. Best of luck, except when you
