Report: LeBron James won't talk to the Cavs until they re-sign Tristan Thompson

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

If im Gilbert, the minute lebron signs a long term deal (next year) id sell the team for 1.5-2b and be out

 

[HHR]

LeBron owns a piece of Rich Paul's agency, he just trying to get himself paid.

That......doesn't seem legal.

1.) this is a Rich Paul move (agent for both Lebron and TT). Lebron isn't going anywhere but he wants to make sure Rich and TT both eat

2.) squeeze that schmuck Dan Gilbert for extra $$ towards the luxury tax.

 

[AkaDemiK]

nikka thought he was just gonna forget what happened in 2010 huh....hahahaha

 

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

Besides the cavs who can offer lebron the max

 

[TheChosenOne]

Cavs should not sign TT

 

[beenz]

I GUESS THE CAVS REALIZED
THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORSE DEALS IN SPORTS HISTORY.




​

and to think, the cavs will have to deal with this again next summer, cuz bron bron will be a free agent in 2016 as well

 

[beenz]

Cavs will/should call his bluff, they know he isnt going anywhere

yeah that sounds good in theory, but the cavs can't even afford to take that risk. how they gon look handing out max deals to kyrie and love. and big deals to shump and delly all so they can force lebron out and be right back in the lottery????

 

[beenz]

If they really offered him 5 years, 80 mil and he is pushing for more (I hear he wants at least the same deal as Draymond, maybe more) - I would let him hit the open market so he can see what his real value is in the league.

I agree. and the thing is now that most teams have already scooped up free agents, there aren't too many teams with the cap space to pay him max dollars anymore anyways even if they wanted to.

 

[beenz]

I don't see how cats can condone this kind of activity by LeBron. It has nothing to do with making the team better, I can see if he was demanding that an outstanding 2 guard got the max. Dude wants ownership to commit 80 plus milly to a backup power forward. They already gave Shump 40 million. This shyt makes no sense. He's just trying to get his agency and his best friend (Rich Paul) more money. It's selfish. First he makes them trade Wiggins and now this. Makes me even happier we sent his ass home without a ring for his city.

why do you even care???? as long as he ain't fukking up the #'s on my team, I could give a shyt about the demands he places on the cavs. dan gilbert is getting what he deserves anyways. fukk him.

/thread. These fukk negus in here ain't got no brothers. I'd love to be on LBJ team. He look out for real negus and hundreds of millions of dollars ain't took the hood outta his heart. I been done trying to understand how these lames hate on my g. I just watch the power moves with reverence

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

This looking out for your friends first stuff is great...but as the great Kobe Bryant said "rings > friends." All I care about is how the Cavs overpaying TT impacts their ability to win a title. If it hurts it, then Bron's a fool for doing this strongarm shyt.

 

[Jax]

Sign Tristan and Bron

Then Durant

 

[pete clemenza]

David West is a better all around player than Tristan Thompson. And Tristan Thompson despite his rebounding, isn't worth no got damn 80 million dollars max contract.

I like Bron but Tristan Thompson is
