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

[NatiboyB]

They could make some space for him. Houston would have a fire sale for him.

exactly let Lebron say he is looking for other teams and watch how many teams start throwing other players in the bushes to offer him a max and the franchise.

teams and players will be reneging on contracts also.

 

[King Poetic]

This is The reason he went back.... Gilbert follow what LeBron want period...

Can u imagine lebron trying to pull that shyt with pop, rc buford and peter ****....

The spurs would be laughing at that nikka...

That's the reason he left miami because there wasn't yes men to cater to his ass

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Would they give the max?

They would throw Dwight and Jones in the bushes for 2nd round picks. Then they would give him the max.

 

[FTBS]

I didnt say it would, I said if.

If it doesn't impact anything then fine have at it.

I get that and that was the basis of my question. "If" implies there is a possibility. My question is what is that possibility when you got a team that is already paying $80 mil to 5 guys and the cap is $67 mil? There is no way that Tristan's contract can ever prove to be the difference between winning a chip and not winning a chip, it's all about Gilbert's pockets.

 

[Jax]

LOL I see the myth of him and not wade pulling those boss moves are alive and well

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

if Lebron left do you really think that dude wouldn't be trying to get traded asap?

Probably but him and Kyrie are very good friends. They could still come out the east

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

I don't care what anyone says though. Dan Gilbert would make an enemy of the rest of the owners if he pays Thompson 80 million

I'd think the Raptors owner would of made more enemies....

I know everyone all hyped up on boss move this and boss move that but long term how does this affect his agency if their only leverage is lebron signing or not. He isn't going to be playing forever and its best to build strong relationships and build trust if they plan on being in the FA game a long time. If they they just plan on cashing out when lebron is done playing well then more power to them. Short term all this shyt is great and good for him paul and tt but I just don't see it as a good long term play.

 

[Scientific Playa]

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.

don't forget bron bron has a dual role of not only supporting his teammate (TT) who was in beast mode in the post season but he is also a sitting vice president of the NBPA. i think he takes that responsibility very seriously.

[yoyoyo1]

I love this. Bron fukkin over that lil jew. make him squeel.

this racism, dapped by 60 people

and yall have the hypocrisy to complain about racism every other thread

 

[Gallo]

Story is nonsense. Bron has no leverage here. Where is Bron going if they don't sign Thompson? Philly?
