    Triston Thompson 5yr/82 mil

    So who caved here? I know guy was holding out for 5/92 mil but damn he made out like a bandit. Come off the bench. Make boatloads of money. All thanks to lebron

    Wow is all I have to say.. Yes he came off the bench and played okay but 82 million dollars?? That's a horrible sign imo.

    I don't think either side 'caved'. Players don't lose money until the nba season starts so TT had nothing to lose financially by holding out through the exhibition season. He wanted more but probably didn't get it. If I were d.griffin I would have pulled the offer, for fun.

    10 million.

    But really, it is a big difference when you live a more extravagant lifestyle, own more houses, cars, support more people, have more baby's mommas, etc.

    I can never blame someone for wanting more money regardless of what they make.

    I don't buy this.. it's all bs. show me the actual contract.... it's like us reg. people, I can tell you I make $20/hr but my actual rate is $12/hr. or vise versa. NBA is a multi billion company they can't tell there employees how much there salary. it's confidential.. those numbers that we hear or see in the news are all propaganda. sorry about my writing I hope somebody understand my point.

    The power of lebron is real. Look at jr smith. Guy opted out thinking some team would offer him a contract and nada. Without lebron, Jr. would be back playing in China. Guys on the team owe him so much

    Don't be ridiculous, JR.Smith may be a knucklehead but he's one of the more talented off-guards in the league.

    Another example of a team allowing a failed player to be a gm.

    The guy is slow. He can rebound, I'll give him that. But that is it. He is a poor D rated replica of Dennis Rodman.
