Management" that didn't re-sign Wes Mathews never give those idiots any credit for being the team that actually brought Mathews in and gave him a chance.

I like that it got done, so he doesn't spend all year pressing

At this point, I'd offer Kanter....

Usually how it happens? Like how it happened with Favors and Hayward?

What should have worried you is that Burks wouldn't agree to the extension,

No kidding. The Jazz really are punked by a lot of agents. It's VERY tough being

that is how it happened with Favors actually

ManicBlue

10/31/14 10:06am

What are you talking about? The Jazz signed Favors to an extenstion similar

That makes sense. And to clarify: I don't blame the Jazz for how the Hayward

I agree

That was a complete fluke. That sort of thing never happens in the NBA.

According to Kevin O'Connor, Matthews agent wasn't being very cooperative

Jazz could have matched IIRC and chose not to

ManicBlue

10/31/14 10:23am

Yes they could have, but at the time they didn't have the financial flexibility

hessrp

10/31/14 10:30am

I disagree .. the Jazz could have matched

ManicBlue

10/31/14 10:43am

Raja made $3 million per not $5 mill, and the contract was 3 years not 4
