Maybe we get Bradley Beal. That's the only way that this trade is salvaged for the Wolves.

Aint going to happen.
And yes there is still a ton of bad blood with Portland. They tried to F Batum financially by limiting his PT/shots the year before and we helped him call them on it. Damn he would look great here right now.

Matthews is 2 way SG who can shoot and plays a great floor game.
Williams gives the rebuilding Blazers a bench 3/4 that can actually score, unlike the rest of their bench, and is a young prospect compared to the established but peaked player Matthews is.
Edit: you think there's still bad blood regarding Portland and the Wolves? Or is it bygones be bygones?

We've drafted plenty of nice guys who haven't cut it. I would love nothing more than for him to transform into our SF of the future, but it ain't going to happen.

I think he could be a player that gets to the line alot if he could learn to finish on his drives. I don't think the refs give him the benefit of the doubt because they feel like he's taking a shot he can't make. If he got the same call Love gets, he'd live at the line.
Worm Guts wrote:I've seen a quite few times where he's taken reasonable drives and just flubbed the shot. There's also been times I thought a foul could have been called but there's no whistle. I suppose though when you continually drive and come up empty it becomes a bad decision to drive at all.
