SLAM Online Q+A: Wes Matthews

SLAM: Is it there a slight level of discomfort right now with not really knowing who your teammates are going to be next season? WM: Well we’ve got six players [under contract], no GM (Since this conversation, Portland has hired Neil Oshley for the role.—Ed.), no coach—you know, I’m hoping we keep our coach right now. I’m hoping we keep Kaleb [Canales]. Two of the players returning are recovering; LA with the surgery and Elliot [Williams] had a separated shoulder. So there’s four of us that are able to play. Kurt [Thomas] is ancient, so he ain’t doing much [laughs].
