The Portland Trail Blazers are matching restricted free agent Matisse Thybulle's three-year, $33 million offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
The Blazers are retaining Thybulle, 26, to stay a part of the franchise's rebuild as the organization also pursues trades on franchise star Damian Lillard.
The deals includes an $11.5 million player option in the third year, sources said.
Thybulle signed the offer sheet on Thursday and Portland officials made a decision within an hour to match the sheet and retain him, sources said.
