Tristan Thompson

[Otsego Mar]

This, getting upset over contract negotiations is a fan thing, not a player thing. Players are all for other players getting paid.

The rich get richer and I cry myself asleep at night.

Question: If Thompson and the Cavs don't get the qualifying offer done by Oct. 1st, how does it work logistically from there?

It's all Kevin Love's fault

I pray Toronto gives him the max.. one less East team to worry about for 4 years

It's so cute that Tristan (and Rich Paul) thinks he has all the leverage in this situation.

I want this overrated Clown off of the team. He doesn't deserve to be a cavalier any longer. And Paul can go f himself.

How TT has become my least favourite Cavalier it's pretty funny since he was one of my favourites.
My view has changed of him completely so I don't give a shit what he does, just don't overpay, I only want him as a trading asset.
Don't want him to be here for the long term, what he is doing right now is toxic to the whole team.

I'm gonna use that stage to wish my main man Kyrie the best wishes and perfect recovery for the upcoming season, love you.

that's pretty short-sighted. you have to separate the agent from the player.

People were getting antsy when Love didn't sign right at midnight. Not much else to focus on right now. And usually, players have to sign off on what their agents do as far as I know.

Bingo! I don't know why people can't grasp the concept that players work for their agents.

Besides TT is a man child. His agent is taking advantage of him. TT is the victim here.

I wish Lakers max TT after they are done with Kobe.

Found this from an article on a Cavs Facebook fan page.

I'm convinced this whole thing is trash now and that Paul is just going through the motions

“A league source tells me that his agent, Rich Paul, has already made it clear to the Cleveland Cavaliers that Thompson will not sign a long-term deal unless it is a max deal. And otherwise, he is prepared to sign a one-year qualifying offer with the additional knowledge, according to the source, that Paul believes that he can get a max deal with the Raptors next summer.”



So when we're you allowed to begin contract negotiations a year before the contract is up?

Busted


This whole thing is trash. I bet TT is just sitting back waiting for Paul to do his job

Is anyone else feeling like they're getting hustled by a scalper who's asking 5x face value two minutes before tipoff?

Agent Rule #1- Create a sense of scarcity.
Agent Rule #2 - Create fear of losing out.
Agent Rule #3 - Convince that there's no other viable options.

So far, playing right into form.

So here is how it is going to play out - Cavs give Thompson the max deal and just as he is about to sign it Kanye West comes out of nowhere - tears the contract up and leaves leaving Tristan in tears!!!

Kanye would never do that to a fellow Canadian.
