How is Kevin Love too injury prone? A guy yanked his arm out the socket. Not his faultCleveland's expected line up in 2014
Verajo
Love/Thompson
Lebron
Ray Allen
Kyrie Irving
Cleveland's actual finals line up in 2015
I think they need to hedge their bets, Kevin and Kyrie are just too injury prone imo
I guess they really have no better options.
Kevin Love to the Players Tribune: "Im Going Back To Cleveland" 5 Yr $110M & Tristan 5 yrs $80M

LOL, the way LeBron is forcing Gilbert to give everyone a huge contract Gilbert's gonna end up not even making a profit off of LeBron's return.are people seriously forgetting that he was a pretty awful fit alongside the cavs last year or did his injury make everyone forget that?
the thompson extension is nice simply because he's a good player and fukking gilbert's pockets. one thing i love about lebron right now is that he's making gilbert pay the fukk up.

Trust me, he gonna make his money. I don't think LeBron is forcing anything, these nikkas (+glibert) bout to own downtown Cleveland if they win a championship. Like i'd be down to tear down the browns stadium and build a 2k foot statue of a nba trophy (lol not really doe).
He dropped $43 million in luxury taxes after LeBron left just for the chance to draft Kyrie Irving.
People don't understand how rich he is and how willing he is to spend money to contend.
So next season...
22 mill for love
16.75 mill for Kyrie (extension kicks in)
9.7 mill for Varejao
5 mill for Mosgov
2.85 mill for Mike Miller
7.15 mill for Tristan (last season on his rookie deal before his extension kicks in for 16-17)
10 mill for Brendan Hayward
.85 million for Joe Harris
22 million for Bron on a 1 year deal
That's around 96 million
Cap is 67.1 mill next season with an 81.6 million luxury tax line.
Gilbert gonna be paying out the ass on that luxury tax. That's still not even a complete roster.
Did JR Smith opt out?
What about Shump?
If they stay, the roster for next season is over 100 million.
Gilbert gonna be paying at least 60 million in luxury tax penalties with that roster.

They'll be at or over $200 million when it's all said and done with luxury tax included.
I don't know why anyone is surprised this was the plan all year.
And when they win the championship not one fukk will be given about the money they spent getting there.So next season...

It's all about the inches
Guess Gilbert said fukk it, I got Lebron back.
What about Mozgov's extension since this is his last year on contract coming up?
Guess Gilbert said fukk it, I got Lebron back.
This was apart of the meeting they had last summer.
Gilbert had to agree to spend for the rest of LeBron's prime.
Gilbert is making it all back tenfold tho.
He was worth $800 million when he bought the Cavs 10 years ago. He's worth $5 billion now.
Doesn't it kick in next year for Tristan? I see many sites showing him still at 7 mill for 2015/2016 coming up.
The 7 mil is what his qualifying offer was
Once the signing is official they'll change it
