Knicks May Be Interested in Wesley Matthews.

Marc Berman writing for NYPost.comthinks there may be interest in trying to woo awayWesley Matthewsfrom thePortland Trail Blazers.

On the surface, shooting guard isn't aKnicksneed until you consider:Iman Shumpertis a free agent and could be traded at the deadline.J.R. Smithhas an opt-out clause he may use to get away from the triangle offense, and Tim Hardaway Jr. hasn't been a favorite of the new regime because of his defense.

Maybe it was after viewing thedisplay Matthews put up against the Knickson Sunday night when he scored 28 points going 10 of 21 (6 of 15 3pts) in 32 minutes that makes Matthews so attractive. Maybe it is his tough defense. Maybe it is his current contract that makes him $7.2 million this season and the expected future contract of around $10 million per year that is perking up interest. But the shooting guard that started in Utah as an undrafted walk-on currently has no plans to leave the Blazers.

For now I'm a Trail Blazer. It's the only thing I see. I'm really not thinking about it.
