O'Connor did make an offer to Wes (+ more)

This thread sounds like a witch trial to me.

wes got lucky as hell so why blame him for anything. portland's stupid anyway to pay that much for a sub. maybe ak will get a front-loaded max contract from portland after this year?!

We can only hope. Then we can sign and trade for their entire front court.

According to Ross Siler:

"Jazz tried to set up a meeting in Orlando during summer league to talk contract. They were blown off. Next day Wes was flying to Portland."

Doesn't matter, I'm sure Jazz fans are going to make up excuses for Wesley, just like they did for Millsap last year........

The difference is Millsap is worth his contract, even with the signing bonus. That was a smart move to retain him.

Matthew at that much however is a terrible idea. Funny that he blew of the Jazz multiple times.

Whatever. What's done is done; Wes is a good kid, but even though I was conflicted, it's a good thing we didn't match.
