Cavs agreement with Tristan Thompson is 5 years with no player or team options. All $82 million is fully guaranteed, which was a key issue

6:12 PM - 21 Oct 2015

 Cleveland will have the highest payroll in NBA history with the signing, opening training camp next week with a commitment this year of approximately $115 million.

The dollar amount may baffle some, but Thompson earned his new contract. He bet on himself at the beginning of the 2014-15 season by turning down a four-year, $52 million extension.

Knowing he was stepping into a season in which he was Kevin Love's backup, Thompson, advised by his agent Rich Paul, decided he was better off playing his hand at restricted free agency.

Critics mocked him for rebuffing such a lucrative offer, citing his "limited skill set." Nevertheless, he played on and accepted his new reserve role. He was the league's leading rebounder off the bench with 8.0 boards a night, while also continuing his streak of not missing a game in his four-year career.

Amazing.

Just when I thought he messed up the come-up....he came up

Dan Gilbert is gonna be getting tossed around by demands for the next few years with that.

 

[nick.]

$82M fully guaranteed with no options?

wonder how he's gonna feel when he's playing the last 2 years of his deal without LeBron

 

[CHAOSE57]

Robbery in broad daylight

 

[bronconation24]

82 million guaranteed hahahhaahahah have fun with that Cleveland

 

[nflowshoe]

82 mil to come of the bench??
Thompson is good but they spent bunch of money on PFs and still have a hole at SG. They could have picked up Joe Johnson for that much.

What's the Cavs luxury tax looking like now?

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

TT's deal won't look as bad when the TV revenue money kicks in and salary caps go up all across the board.

What will ultimately seal the Cavs fate is when LeBum and his jersey selling agent bleed that franchise dry. They'll have LBJ, TT, Love, Myrie all making guap......they better at least win one championship.

Thompson reps kept pushing story client would sit year w/o max deal. Cavs, NBA never bought it. In end, agents caved, accepted lower deal.

 It's been a long summer of grinding and hard work but now it's back to The Land to take care of some unfinished business. #HappyToBeBack #ALLin
