Tristan Thompson is a one trick pony & all he does well is rebound. But nikkas in here acting like he's the second coming to Dennis Rodman, which he aint!

And Tristan Thompson also ain't shyt defensively compared to David West :what:





someone obviously does not watch basketball, maybe soccer is for you.

kind of crazy to sign TT to a max deal when he will be coming off the bench, even though a max deal now wont be a max deal when the cap jumps up.

It's like some of you don't know who Dan Gilbert is... He payed luxury taxes during Bron's first term and even after he left as @jaguar paw eloquently stated in another thread just for a chance to draft Kyrie Irving which paid off. Thanks Baron. He's not going to go broke by any means, and this is what he wants and what he does. If the Cavs have a great team, that casino he owns next door is getting more money. Also, I would say, this isn't unusual to how Bron conducts his business. Everybody is coming back, save JR (possible) but at the end of the day, as long as LeBron is here, Dan wins

According to who? TT more than proved his worth to the Cavs last yr, he's the best offensive rebounder in the league and a rising star in this league. He's worth a max deal for what the Cavs need him to do.

Either way this is a non story, Bron will resign soon, but there's nothing wrong with making sure TT is set first

:childplease: Tristan Thompson isn't even close to being the best rebounder in the league. He's ranked 5th for offensive rebounds, but he's not even in the top 20 for defensive rebounding & ranked 19th for total rebounds. He's also 26th in the league for rebounds per game for 2014-2015. And his total career rebound average is only 8.4 RPG. Plus, he has no other skills outside of rebounding, which is why it's stupid to pay him max dolllars. You Cleveland fans are over hyping TT when it's clear that he's just an average rebounder at best

Self-hating kewns will find a way to hate lebron for this. When in fact, he's trying to make sure his young black brethren get money, as well as his black agent.
It looks like he's undermining his black agent, as well as doubting his agent's ability to get a deal done on his own merit.

How is he supposed to get respect as an agent when his only trump card is "my best friend won't talk to you if you don't get us what we want"? This does nothing to garner respect from his peers in the business.

Nikka Tristan has the Lateral quickness to hop out on pick and role Defense and stay in front of smaller quicker guards.

Which is EXTREMELY important in todays NBA.

David West IS NOT better at Tristan when it comes to that.

Picking out little small situational aspects of TT's game doesn't override all of David West's superior attributes & intangibles, so when it's all said & done David West is still a overall better player offensively and defensively than Tristan Thompson
