AKA TT's getting 90 mil because he's LeBron's boy.
Fucking annoying, I don't want him with no trade value to be a 6th man come on.

This FO should be fired if they'd rather have Tristan than Moz. I don't even know if LeBron would. LeBron loves having a true, talented 2 way 7'1'' guy to play with.
A 15-16 million contract for TT has trade value as early as next year. The following year, even more so.
You need to adjust your worldview to a salary cap that is rising 40+ million dollars in just two years
Were you under the impression we have to make a choice between the two?
Moz is under contract this year and will get re-signed next year.
Good way to rationlize it, he wants more than 16m a year and still even with the new cap it's too much.

TT will most likely be starting after this upcoming season and bye-bye Moz. I'm sure he'll get 15+ after playing a whole year with LeBron and averaging a double double.
People need to see and fully understand this before making comments on contract value.
2006: 53.1 million
2007: 55.6 million
2008: 58.6 million
2009: 57.7 million
2010: 58 million
2011: 58 million
2012: 58 million
2013: 58.7 million
2014: 63 million
2015: 69 million
2016: 89 million
2017: 108 million
If you can not look at those numbers and understand why the way we view contract value being given out this summer is intuited and obsolete, than I do not know what to tell you. Our notion of what a player is worth is based on a salary cap that raised only 4.4 million total between 2008-2013.
Especially in a climate when the top stars(LeBron, Durant, etc) are locked in to the same set % of the cap that anyone in there experience bracket can potentially ear, the NBA "middle class" is going to make a killing on this unprecedented cap rise.
The only way it is too much is if you can't trade him.
You telling me there's no team out there that would take a 24 year old PF/C who just averaged 10 and 11 for 20 post season games? At what will be between 12-15% of the cap?
From a cap percentage perspective, once we go to caps in the 90-110 million dollar range, TT will have a very average salary for a young big man.
