to an extent.. also illegal as fuck screens. but they earned a good bit of it too.
i was ALMOST going to say 'hitting contested shots is what they do', but they really dont. i think steph is 30% on contested in the playoffs.

Guys will get hot and starting hitting contested shots. We witness this with jr every once in awhile. It is however not sustainable for anybody. If the guy makes it, just tip the cap and continue to not give him any air space.

I wouldn't say lucky but I would say tough shots and if GS are going to run those types of plays, I'm all for it. 4 guys at the 3 point line setting screens and a pull up 3 pointer? Sure sure. You can have that shot all day Curry. Just remember if you miss, no chance of any 2nd chance points and on the other side, David Lee and Demonstrative Green will get their asses beat down low.

I just wish his other skills matched his offensive rebounding. He has the athleticism, but he does not play smart defense, and we all know where his offense is.

We couldn't use the saved money on any other player if we didn't resign Tristan even if we wanted to. We are over the cap without him on the roster. We have the choice of either having Tristan or letting him walk. We could of course resign him and trade him at some point, but that's it.

What kinds of contracts did Dennis Rodman get back in his day?
Obviously he was paid less than TT is about to be paid due to increasing salaries over the years, but I mean like comparable to the rest of the players in that era, how much was he paid?
Just trying to gauge how much TT should be paid. He's definitely elite in terms of hitting the boards and he's above average defensively, but I just can't justify paying him anything crazy because of how limited he is offensively.

Not sure of the per year breakdown, but Rodman only made $27 million over his career. That's not including endorsements, just salary.

He showed all throughout the playoffs that he invaluable to this team. In fact, he becomes even better on the biggest stages. The Cavs cannot afford to lose him.
That said, I think it's wisest to let him explore free agency and see what kind of offer sheet he can get. I don't expect a team that actually has cap space to sign him to the max, and for that reason, the Cavs may be in luck.
