[Suguru101]

Whatever. Glad it's over.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Great move. Best hustle big and controls the paint for cavs. Kyrie needed this on his team

[bdreason]

Cavs overpaid, but at least they didn't overpay for 5 years.

[Hey Yo]

Cavs overpaid, but at least they didn't overpay for 5 years.

Can't argue with that.

with what money

Lebron - 23 million
love - 19.7 million
thompson - 17.6 million
kyrie - 16.4 million
verajao - 9.7 million
shumpert - 9 million
smith - 5 million
mozgof - 5 million
williams - 2 million
jefferson - 1.4 million
delavedova - 1.3 million
harris - 0.8 million



total - 110.9 million


70 million dollar salary cap

Good deal for both sides IMO.

Literally just 3-4 years ago a promising young big would often get something like 5 years/53 million. I think Rondo also got somethin along those lines. TT is getting 53 in 3 years.

And with the cap continuing to rise its not really that much of a big deal. They had no other options with that money anyway.

[Coach Eddie]

That is insane for a bench player.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just post this?

[RedBlackAttack]

The deal isn't done yet.

ESPN clarifies: Tristan Thompson willing to sign 3-year, $53 million with Cavs. But no deal. Which is not how it was initially reported.

Just shows how screwed up the cba is, seems like it's meant to allow the rich to get richer.

[NuggetsFan]

Cavs need to get the deal done so regardless of what the deal looks like don't think they should catch heat for it. Crazy how much contracts are rising and how much better older contracts look now tho. Faried signed a 4 year 50 mill deal in '14 and Thompson is about to maybe ink a 3 year 53 mill deal. 13 mill more for one less year

Never can trust anything reported by chris and his "sauces"

[RedBlackAttack]

....aaaand, there it is.



Broussard's initial report:








^^^There is no hint there that Broussard is saying anything other than it is a done deal and the signing is in the bag.

Then begins a very quick back-peddle. Just 25 minutes after those tweets ...

Broussard foiled again.

Rich Paul is now using him as a human bullhorn. They deserve one another.

[Hey Yo]

Stein should rip Broussard a new ass*ole for making him look bad
