he would have gotten it if not for the injury. Not sure now.

So what does that Danny green want 12?

[apalisoc_9]

Mathews is a re .

Depending on where LMA ends up, he's either a must sign or a GTFO..

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If the Spurs get Aldridge and Danny leaves, is there any way the Spurs can also sign Matthews? I know he won't get $15M, but what about like $11M?

[TheGreatYacht]

And some posters here believe Green isn't worth 10M a year

[Big P]

A team or two may offer $9 or 10 mil on a 1 or 2 year contract, but $15 per year 3 or 4 years, I can't see it.

[baseline bum]

Matthews at $15 million doesn't make any sense even if his career hadn't been ruined a few months ago.

Why would you want to sign Kobe Bryant essentially? Well, Kobe Bryant minus the cancerous at ude, but still?

I never really saw him as that kind of player, more of like a plug and find easy shots player like Danny is.

Who comes back from achilles tears? Billups was garbage after, Bryant has about as much elevation as Duncan now.

No - there is no chance. If the Spurs sign and trade, that means they are over the cap and only have the MLE to spare. If they use cap space, that means it's on LA and would have no where near enough to sign Wes.

Dawn of the crippled, hundreds of injured players asking for insane money, even Greg Oden wants to comeback.

[Mugen]

Yeah, i'd want 15mil per year too

[lmbebo]

Maybe 7-8 mill. Hard to see him getting more coming off of a major surgery.

[Mal]

There was one guy who was overpaid while having achilles injury. It didnt end well.

I think you mean Hamstring injury.

[AFBlue]

Just a case of guys and their agents seeking some of that new money a year early. And if teams have the space this year, they just might be willing to give it. I don't know about $15M for Matthews...just speaking to the premise in general.

[Richie]

He won't get it coming off surgery but Matthews is a better all-round player than Green, he's a better finisher, dribbler, he can post up etc.. . A healthy Matthews at $15m puts Greens value in the $10-$12m range

[TheCerebral1]

Good luck to you Wes Matthews, your torn ACL's will tell you to STFU, and accept your 1 year 9M offer to verify you're healthy enough to warrant a deal.

He's not a better player than Green. He's a finished player who will probably have a marginal career for 2-3 years and then teams will no longer be willing to throw money at him based on once being good.

[spursparker9]

He is worth 8-9 mil at best tbh
