The trade deadline is only weeks away and the rumors are only going to heat up as February approaches. Sports Illustrated’s Michael Shapiro recently produced a list of likely candidates to be moved early next month. Of those included on his list, former Trail Blazers shooting guard Wesley Matthews was included.
According to Shapiro, Matthews’ expiring contract will make him moveable for the right price.
The former Blazer was previously a tough sell to opposing teams early in his four-year, $70 million deal. Matthews largely disappointed in Dallas, making his $17 million a negative trade asset.
