Tristan Thompson

[inliner311]

I hope not.
I'm sure Beilein is trying to get him to pass.
I think it's the work ethic that gives him a little bit of a pass though with ownership/management. From what I understand Collin is the main one putting in the extra hours in the empty gym at nights.

Also that shot that Sexton took was after he had knock down a couple. I think he was feeling hot and wanted to see if he could knock down a pretty wide open 3. It's a shot you live with if one of your top scorers want to have a heat check.

I'm not sure if Beilein kept talking after TT got the dunk. Really Beilein's energy would be better spent not harping on TT if he didn't get down the floor quick enough. TT rarely doesn't get back in transition quick enough. He isn't the one slowing down the pace either.

Sexton is the prince selected by the coach and the owner so rest of the team just need to accept that... he can take as many shots he wants and he can pass only when he wants

So just to clarify, are you saying Coach Beilien selected Sexton while coaching at Michigan last year?

 

[Bucketz]

He got mad because Sexton didn't pass him the ball in the paint and took a 3 point attempt instead, then showed no interest in getting the easy rebound. Then he just stood there while the rest of the team headed back down the floor.

Beilein started yelling at him to get down the floor on defense. Delly ended up with the ball on a turnover and gave it to Thompson who was still in the same spot for an easy dunk. Thompson was just getting madder as Beilein had got on him to get moving and then after the dunk tried to get in his face and was yelling at him.

Delly again with a great play keeping him away from Beilein

The only teams with Capspace next year are bad teams. So, Tristan has to give up bird rights to get a big contract from another bad team. I bet anything he is being a good soldier to get a 10's of million's contract because he can only get the mid level from teams that are competing. So his only options to get a "good" contract are saty with his current team where he is appreciated and gets shots, move to another shitty team and lose bird rights, or sign a big contract(hopefully the cavs don't outbid themselves) which can then be moved to a contender at a different date like Kevin Love did.

That's it. Getting 14M from a contender or even a playoff team is not an option at all. He can go t the Grizz, Hawks, Knicks if they don't resign anyone they signed last year, and that is it. The one exception is Toronto, which may be what he is goes for. He would have appreciation of his hometown and be able to sign a decent sized contract. Maybe he has his own coming home thing that he will do.

Think you’re right. And why not? Toronto is a perennial eastern conference contender as of late and the Cavs...well...yeeeaaaaahhg

Must be weird being held accountable for something after being “coached” by Lue for 3 years

 

[DirtyDan]

I'm in the keep TT camp. If he wants to stay for a reasonable deal, they should jump on it.

Yes, but if you can get Miles Turner Id do that

How are we getting Myles Turner for TT?

Pacers laugh so hard while hanging up the phone. Myles is on a good contract and is a good player. Where do people come up with this.

Pacers value TT higher than other Franchises. I dunno what the deal might be, but Turner has been in rumors to the Cavs.

They have Sabonis's extension coming up and TT will be expiring while still filling a need for a big this year

Turner is a defensive anchor for the Pacers and also has a legit 3 point shot on offense. Pacers can easily continue to play Turner and Sabonis together. In no way are we getting Turner. Pacers would be moronic to trade Turner for TT.

I'm not disagreeing with you but word around the league consistently is not whether they can play together but whether they want to pay both of them together. They have Oladipo and Brogdon on the books already and clearly Sabonis is going to get a huge deal as well (that's 3 big contracts right there)

I'm suggesting Turner won't be dealt but if the price to beat is TT and a 1st teams will be lining up to get Turner and top that offer quickly.
