do you know of any players that make $15 that have never even made an all star team?

23 guys made $15 mil or more last year, Rudy Gay is the only one that has never made an all star team.

Chandler Parsons and Gordon Hayward both signed $15 million/ year deals last year.

The cap is going up and Mathews is arguably a top three defensive player (I'm not looking at statistics, strictly what I've seen him do) and to add to that, he hits threes at a good rate. IMO, the Grizzlies are a Mathews away from coming out of the West.

Gordon Hayward signed a 4 year $62 mil deal. Ricky Rubio makes an avg of $13.7 and Eric Gordon at $14.5

Not saying he should get 15 a year, just saying that it's not some crazy number for him and his agent to throw around

Made $14.8 last year, and $15.5 in 2015. I think what you keep missing is that the cap is about to rise. Matthews would have received the $15, or damn close to it, without the injury.

EDIT: I missed the 2nd page before responding, so I see Gordon has already been thrown out there.
