Cant ride with Bron on this Tristan isn't worth the max. Rather save that money for mozgov next year.

They have Mosgov's birds rights. Therefore they can pay him whatever. Between Kyrie, Love, Bron they are damn near already capped out. This team is never gonna have cap room and frankly they don't need it. Only thing at play here is how much Gilbert is wiling to pay and Bron is clearly holding his feet to the fire to have him spend every dime.

Do you know what worth means? Because if it means "pay thompson $X per year and I get to keep lebron James" then he's 'worth' $X.

Know exactly what worth is and you are only worth what someone is willing to pay you. But what does lebron's worth have to do with TT's worth? If you are asking if Lebron and TT are worth it then yes but TT on his own is not worth the max. You know this. I respect the power move by bron but think it will bite him in the but in the long run.

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


David West had a jumpshot and mean muggin over Thompson, everything else Thompson is BY FAR SUPERIOR. I hope you a stan because you exposing your BBall knowledge

This is as thorough as it gets in the sports world, whether u love hate or are indifferent to Lebron, this is a straight up G move. He's making sure his youngen, who is a great role player and will only get better as he matures, gets paid and gets to stick around and be a part of something great. If you're from any kind of street background, or know anything about loyalty you can't even begin to hate on this. He's making sure his boy Rich Paul eats too, and setting him up to eat more in the future by raising his profile as an agent. This is a thoroughbred move, straight up good dude, making sure he helps his people who deserve it, feed themselves for years to come. If you hate on that you either have a hard time looking yourself in the mirror, are too dense to understand exactly what his motives are here, or you're just a straight up fraud.

This is the realest s*** ever. This n***a LeBron literally is a business man first, basketball player 2nd. LeBron won't even bother with them until his crew straight. F a luxury tax these old edomites elected for. Get that money Tristan :salute:


I know LeBron look back at his Miami days like
"These owners really got me to take less :mjlol:"

He's literally playing the role of star player, coach, GM, and agent, and making sure his supporting cast (on and off the court) eats well in every sense of the word off of his opportunities and power.

Cavs at 100% are top 3 title favorites period. They have the core to beat anyone. LeBron knows this. You don't think the cherry on top is to see his young n***as getting paid too. Shumpert got a piece and now double T about to eat.


Like LeBron told Phoenix FO to Eric Bledsoe......"Break Bread :lolbron:"
