Tristan Thompson

[LoveStan]

Both Tristan and the Cavs FO are crazy.

This is delusional behavior, and, I'm afraid, indicative of how out-of-touch LeBron and his camp are with reality. Dude's trippin'.

They bet on the fact that he would be having a better season but AV and him basically have identical numbers and we just extended Andy for 10 million per with his history of injury. He is younger and more athletic and has a bigger upside so what do you expect that number will still be there in the offseason.

 

[mrbeaks]

If they bet on that then they're idiots along with being delusional.

My god we would of had $23 million committed to AV and Thompson this year?!

Well at least there's a victory in this season somewhere...

He turned down 13 mil a year, lol.. I don't know who's dumber, the cavs or him for turning it down.

 

[Jstock12]

Not sure what LeBron told TT, but turning down a 52M contract is ridiculous...

He probably isnt worth 13 mill Canadian dollars a year much less American.

I'm a Canadian and I approve this message.

If we overpay for him then that might push me over the edge as a Cavs fan. He brings us nothing that we couldn't get for 1/3rd his price. Let his ass walk away. Grab 2 guys that will be on the market that can give us the 12 fouls and same hustle/production.

Something along the lines of: "They'll do anything I say - hold out and I'll get you a sweet payday."

 

[NasstyNate]

Actions speak louder than words, and what we commit to Tristan will be all I need to answer this question to Lebron - do you want to win or be a business mogul?

You know, if he had ONE other skill other than offensive rebounding and being a good teammate, the money might be worth it. If he could grab defensive rebounds and be a total rebounding monster or if he had a jump shot that helped make the offense better or if he could defend the rim or if he were a better post defender or if he had at least one post move that helped him score...he really is just a very good teammate who hustles and grabs offensive boards and a decent defender. That's it.

 

[roozy]

I've wanted him gone for a while now, he provides nothing that cheaper option couldn't. The thought that they offered him 13 million after an abundance of visual evidence of his inept play is sickening.
