By Dark PhaZe Go To PostDoes LeBron not realize that if Tristan gets a max, that Mozgov will surely want one too?This is his way of exerting his power over Gilbert.
They'll have 4 of 5 starters maxed and a max bench player. The tax will be absurd.
Payback for all those years of playing with Boobie and Sasha Pavlovic.
I know NBA economics are screwed up right now, but I just don't want to live in a world where Tristan Thompson has a max contract.
By rodeoclown Go To PostI know NBA economics are screwed up right now, but I just don't want to live in a world where Tristan Thompson has a max contract.He's just lucky LeBron has so much leverage.
Also, you already live in a world where Enes Kanter has a max and a trade kicker. :scust

gotta pay to play breh
By blackace Go To Postthat Sam Presti magicMatching was better than losing him, and the contract will look better under the new CBA.
Thankfully it appears that he'll be the sixth man as well. I'm glad that Donovan doesn't feel pressure to start him because of his salary.

Cavs had the highest or second highest payrolls multiple years in lebron's first go around. Gilbert's never been cheap.
Thompson is not starting over Love and Mozgov... and Varejao, if healthy, is already a nice rotation player... I mean, I don't want owners to make too much money, I just wonder the kind of leverage players really have...
I wonder if Gilbert is thinking that winning in Cleveland will make him as beloved as Jerry Buss is in LA. This cant just be about the economics with the way he's hemorrhaging money

It would be seen as a pretty big failure if LeBron never chips there.

he'd be a god in cleveland for chipping and bringing lebron back
if they chip of course
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthe'd be a god in cleveland for chipping and bringing lebron backThey'll have plenty of chances. Gonna walk to the Finals every season.

Problem is that, that's fickle. Fan bases aren't loyal to owners. People don't treat Reinsdorf with that admiration.
When Kobe wanted a trade, most of LA was on his side in that.
Gilbert has to win and then not make any major mistakes after the fact. Lebron will get all the credit if he does.

Bigger clown: SAS or Broussard?
"I have not talked to KD or any of his friends close to KD but based on these leaps of logic I have determined he COULD choose LA over NY or DC"
all KD said was that dude was lying--how should that invite an awkward threat on television?
the twitter response by itself was already doin too much by SAS

I like to think that SAS has a doll of every NBA star in his home office that serves a purpose befitting a sequel to Lars and The Real Girl.
what the hell did i just listen to?
like really.. i don't understand.. it was just ramblings of a lunatic.

Jon Stewart used to do that... but facetiously. The fact that SAS did that as a way of empowerment, lmao.

CASH NOVAK BITCHES.
RT @WojYahooNBA: Charlotte's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will need shoulder surgery and be sidelined six months, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
RIP.
RIP.

*grasping*
believe in hope
mkg returns with 1 game left before the bet gets cancelled

At least they didn't make a shortsighted "win (slightly more) now" move that put undue emphasis on this season specifically.
We're gonna be an entirely different team than last year's now. PJ gonna get more minutes for sure now too.
such a weird year already

By diehard Go To Postso Kanter isnt going to start?It makes sense. He's gonna feast on opposing benches.
$70m for a backup

And vice versa.
