Tristan Thompson
It has been reported that Thompson might leave if Cleveland would offer a 1 year deal, prior to this offer, Thompson and his agent turned down a four year deal of $60 million dollars. Reports are circling around the league that Thompson wants max deal. If you are to ask me since cap space will blow up in the next couple of years Cavs, should give assurance to Thompson the next 2 years at least same deal that Greg Monroe got from the Bucks.
It maybe a push but Thompson is one of the reasons why they made it all the way to the finals despite losing Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. I am not a big fan of TT, however there are teams that would love to have him like Portland or maybe even LA and Dallas. It has been said that Lebron wants TT to be a with the Cavs forever it maybe a ploy to make TT stay, but if Kevin Love got a max offer of $110 million for 5 years, it would be an insult for Thompson if he gets anything less than $16M per year. Kevin Love is better offensively that is for sure but he is also a bit injury prone on the other hand TT was able to start all 82 games in his first 2 seasons with the Cavs and it maybe the same case this year in case Kevin Love is not yet back or if another team gets TT.
Is he worth max contract maybe not but will LBJ be happy if Thompson leaves? The Cavs front office need to measure things because we all know that LBJ can opt out next year if he doesnt win it all.
