Why is Tristan Thompson holding out?

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

I rarely think of him, by when I do I wonder why the fukk is this dude holding out?

I mean, if you won't sign the Cavs already excessive 4 year 80 mill deal because you (and some coli posters ) think you can get the max from some other team next summer, then why not sign one year tender and play ball till the season is up and then get paid as an unrestricted free agent??

What's the hold up here?

For one, his tender date to sign has passed. Secondly, he feels he is worth more. While I may not agree with that, I'm not going to shyt on a man for feeling like he's disrespected for his worth with a rising salary cap. I didn't complain when Sideshow Bob held out, not going to do it now. Third and most important: it doesn't really fukking matter right now

cause he has the same agent as lebron. I'm sure TT has a bunch of people in his ear telling him its a good idea (cause they will get more money if he does) so he assumes its a good thing.

Cavs could extend the date to sign that tender to March if they want to help him out.

 

[PortCityProphet]

so he's still a FA right? but can't sign with anybody but the Cavs right?

Wouldn't benefit them to do so. They have all leverage on their side

Yup.

They own his rights and if he doesn't sign they have his rights again next summer.

A team with cap room like the Sixers or Portland could make an offer, but the Cavs have the right to match.

Because Rich Paul is his agent and Lebron won't resign next season if they don't fork over the money. It's as simple as that.

Cavs could extend the date to sign that tender to March if they want to help him out.

And why exactly would they want to do that? I mean they could just give him the max if they just wanted to help him out.

Better question would be, why are you a pedo fakkit?

That right there is why the Cavs don't have all the leverage...

LeGM isn't leavin clev...he will ruin his rep if he does that, dan gil can play hardball all he wants

if LeGM wanted T.T so bad he would have never signed until T.T signed. Look what happened

 

[Optimus Prime]

Bron can't/won't say it because of conflict of interest with Paul/Tristan but he's on the Cavs side. Bron knows 5 years 84 is enough for Tristan to sign. That's why he really hasn't said anything about it other than "Get it done"
