Wesley Matthews

The Dallas Mavericks are not willing to trade Wesley Matthews as part of a salary dump. Heck, from the sounds of their asking price, they may not be willing to move the 31-year-old, period. From The New York Times‘ Marc Stein: It would take a first-round pick to get him, because Dallas sees him as one [...]

Wesley Matthews’ name has been lightly bandied about the NBA’s trade rumor mill, but suitors for the three-and-D wing shouldn’t hold their breath for the Dallas Mavericks to deal him. Not according to Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at least, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: [tweet https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/823255735366778882] [tweet https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/823263549657124867] This isn’t too surprising a stance from the [...]

Chris Kaman’s continued presence on the Portland Trail Blazers’ sideline is weird. It’s been weird. Never once has it not seemed weird. General manager Neil Olshey tore down an NBA contender after last season, trading Nicolas Batum, willingly bidding farewell to Robin Lopez and Wesley Matthews and constructing the roster around LaMarcus Aldridge’s departure before [...]

Opening night is still more than a month away, and already it seems like the Dallas Mavericks are in for a long season. The DeAndre Jordan mishap has come to define their offseason. They had one of the top free agents available, and then, quite suddenly, they didn’t. And that left them to pick up [...]

C.J. McCollum knows it’s go time. Entering his third NBA season, McCollum now needs to make the transition from developing complementary piece to key building block as the Portland Trail Blazers look to rebound and regroup after a franchise-altering offseason in which 80 percent of last year’s starting lineup journeyed elsewhere, by way of trade [...]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ offseason did not go as planned, and General Manager Neil Olshey knows it. Last summer, it was expected that they would retain LaMarcus Aldridge, re-sign Wesley Matthews, extend Damian Lillard and probably keep Robin Lopez, and then run it back with the same core for a few years until their title [...]

Apparently the Portland Trail Blazers, much like the Philadelphia 76ers, want all the big men. With LaMarcus Aldridge and Wesley Matthews officially headed elsewhere, the Blazers have a boat load of cap space and no star to spend it on. So, naturally, they did the only thing left to do: offer restricted free agent Enes [...]

It’s definitely a sad Thursday night for Portland fans, as their beloved team just suffered a huge blow during their matchup against the visiting Mavericks. During the early part of the third quarter—their shooting guard Wesley Matthews received the ball, went for the drive, but unfortunately fell down with pain because of his left foot. [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]
