Timofey MOZGOV!
LeBron James was asked on Tuesday if he expects restricted FA Tristan Thompson to re-sign with the Cavs, to which he replied, "Yeah of course he will." James, who was answering questions on Twitter, added that Thompson "Means way too much to [the Cavs'] success!"
Top question I wish someone asked Lebron for his "Ask Lebron Anything" session on Twitter tonight- "Do you realize keeping your behemoth center buddy next year depends on Tristan tamping down this max contract shit?"
Actually I just wish we knew for sure that it's crossed his mind- not that I want it floated in public.
I'm sure he just thinks we'll just suck it up and sign him (Moz), which is certainly doable as long as Andy goes bye bye.
Winning a title this year, with Andy on the team, would make it much easier to cut ties with him. And realistically, where is he going to go from there? It would be going out in a blaze of glory, with the organization he has spent most of his professional career with.I think you're on the right track with Andy having to go to keep this thing together.
I have zero expectations for andy this season.
Anything he provides is a bonus in my mind. He's coming off one of the most devastating injuries an athlete can have and had already shown signs of slowing down.
It sure would, I'm just wondering how feasible it is to keep him after this year assuming Moz is our obvious #1 priority.
As far as him going out- we've buried Andy after injury many times before, and he just keeps coming back.
I think it's possible, especially if Andy shows he can still play in a reduced role this year, that Gilbert is willing to suck it up for one year and keep Andy on as a quality player on a potential repeat team, because it will likely cost a pick or two to trade him into a team's space (the good news being that there will be a ton of these teams next year) and I don't know if Dan would do that just over money.
If he proves to be a corpse though I think they pay the price to get rid of him, not only for money reasons but also to clear up a roster spot for someone to be able to help us.
I'm sure he just thinks we'll just suck it up and sign him, which is certainly doable as long as Andy goes bye bye.
You do realize that in year three that Andy is a non guaranteed contract. If they have kept him into next year, then I find it pretty unlikely that they try to move him before that 3rd year. Wouldn't be good asset management.
