And people thought Tristan might be overpay.

Well, if he can get that kind of money, then Tristan will get the max. Because that's absurd there.

Carroll was a starter who played more mpg, and on a per/36 basis, scored more points, is a much better shooter, and has a higher WS/48 and VORP than does TT. TT is a significantly better rebounder and shot-blocker, but Carroll is a significantly better passer, has fewer turnovers, and has more steals.

Not so sure $15M/year for Carroll means TT gets the max.
 
The bottom line is that Carroll is better than TT anyway. They are very different players, so it depends what exactly your needs are, but if I could trade TT straight up for Carroll I would do it on most teams.

[Edit -- Q-Tip got there before me]
 
Carroll at $15mil a year is one of the worst contracts I've ever seen, new cap or not. He's going to take a gigantic statistical dive on that Toronto team. Take all the Hawks regular season stats from this season and throw them in the garbage like LeBron did with their entire team in the ECF

We will be forced to bid against ourselves for TT so he doesnt sign the QO and become unrestricted next year when the free agent money will be crazy.

We are not out of the woods yet on TT.

tristan thompson would be borderline stupid to sign a qualifying offer instead of taking a long term extension now. and the cavs would still have his birds rights anyway.
 
What is Love making in a 1+1, then a 5 year if in LA vs signing here?

The MMLE feels like the vet min at this point.

Top tier free agents don't affect guys who are in the MMLE level.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The first wave usually exhausts all the big financial resources and then the market corrects and more league average salary players sign smaller deals.

Cavs just need to be patient. They'll get someone.

We would have bird rights, but not restricted. And why would he be stupid? He already gambled on himself and won, this would be just one more gamble.
