Blazers officially sign G Matthews
Basketball Betting Lines
07/21/2010 -
Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have
officially signed restricted free-agent guard Wesley Matthews.
As per club policy, no terms of the deal were announced. However, a report in
the Oregonian last week placed the pact at five years and $34 million.
The Blazers signed Matthews to an offer sheet on July 10 which his former
team, the Utah Jazz, declined to match.
Matthews was relied on right away as a rookie last season, averaging 9.4
points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 24.7 minutes per game. He played in
all 82 games, making 48 starts.
Undrafted after his four-year career at Marquette, Matthews proved himself
further by posting 13.2 points, 4.4 boards, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals in
starting all 10 of Utah's playoff games in 2009-10.
"Wesley is a great fit for our team both on and off the court," said new
Portland general manager Rich Cho. "As only a first-year player last season,
he demonstrated a lot of maturity and ability. He's already one of the best
young defenders in the league and offensively he's an emerging threat. He's
going to add a lot of versatility to our roster."
