Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Used the same tactics got Bledsoe paid last summer. He got Cory Joseph 3 yrs 21 million and he is a back up PG. He is doing his job as a agent take rooting for the Cavs out of it he is doing whats best for his clients.

Nice to meet you, Rich
 
So, TT will go somewhere else next off season even if the Cavs make the best offer?

Sure he will.
Lol, exactly. There's no way we win a ship and offer him more money than any team and he still doesn't sign. We would be fools to fall for this negotiation tactic.
 
Looks like someone is getting mad the Cavs aren't caving. If it is TT's last year, so what. He isn't close to worth what he thinks. Let him go be overpaid massively by another team. We can sign Mozgov and draft/trade for another big.

Actually, if TT only signs for the QO, he hasn't done what is best for his agent.
 
Who is TT flexing on at this point? Let's recap, we offered him a great deal last year. He fucked us and bet on himself and won. We offer him 4 years fucking 80 million and hes received not 1 offer in RFA.

So now I'm supposed to believe he'll leave all that money and security on the table to play on the QO and sign somewhere else next year?


Seems like someone wants a story

We don't have any first round picks for the next yr or so and we don't have assets to trade outside of the Trade Exemption we have that we would have to use drafts picks to package with and the whole league will have more money to spend next yr we aren't getting a third big as good as TT at his age.

He'll more than likely find a more lucrative opportunity next summer. There aren't a whole lot of young bigs available and almost every team has money to spend with the rising cap.

They need to work this out.

TT isn't that friggin good. Stats tell me he's easily replaceable. His ability to switch on the PnR is vastly overrated. He gets pushed around by any big with size. He doesn't protect the rim. He doesn't draw his defenders out of the paint.

He has one skill. Rebounding.

Being a slightly more durable Reggie Evans does not make him deserving of a max contract.
 
One thing people have to remember is that the Cavs don't have the means to replace TT if he leaves. If he signs the QO you can't trade him. Not a lot of options.

Cause this hasn't been mentioned somewhere around 6,000 times. By this point, we all understand this.

He can't get a max offer from anyone. He's fooling himself.
 
This is truly amateurish pussy shit that RP just pulled.

Handle your business behind closed doors instead of being a whiny bitch by leveraging the media to get your way. Your client doesn't deserve max money - something that's widely accepted across all 30 teams.

If you want to hold out for bigger money from a team like Sacramento, Philly, or the Lakers... Well, happy trails.

Enjoy your miserable lives.
 
Not sure this is a good play from Rich Paul. If completely healthy the cavs have choices with bigs to play. They could even look for another big with the TPE. If they find viable replacements during the year, TT might not get off the bench and even get the chance to play for the big money he wants.
 
Who would those bigs be? David Blatt used TT to finish games all last season over Mozgov. He's their second best big behind Love. The Cavs have no idea what Andy has left. They can't replace TT easily with what he can do.
