Which of our players fit that bill right now? I know that it doesn't help my argument, but the last guy that fit that description was Posey.

Also, Asik and DC (if we re-sign them) are our oldest players at a whopping 28. I think we can use a talented vet with a winning history. Look at how QPon's leadership helped us post all start break. Not saying that Matthews is THE guy, but I think we can really use a talented older vet to help this team out.

Also, I'm really worried about clearing out tons of space for next year's UBER FREE AGENCY, missing out on those max level guys, then overpaying for guys less talented than the likes of Matthews.

How about this: would you do it if Matthews agreed to a 4/$48 declining deal?

I just mean let's not become a team that starts throwing money at those types of guys. I think we have a nice head of steam moving forward... Gordon will be off the books. I just dont want to get in bed with an injured guy making too much money

I like Matthews and all, just because he's an actual 2 way guy. He's a "winning player", but his growth also coincided with LA becoming a perennial MVP candidate, Dame Lilliard arriving, Batum, RoLo etc. He played a role on those teams and now thinks he's going to step in and get paid like a go to guy. In reality youd want him being a role player if he was here too.. EG has finally embraced his role and will clear money next year. Go get Batum or Parsons or get in on Beal
