Did the Cavs seek advice from Billy King and Prokhorov this offseason on how to piss money away for a 2nd round exit?

Lol. OP is a faggot.

[~O~]

Well, they kept their gritty offensive rebounded. The question is will they make it to the finals in one piece.

[jeebus]

Broussard was struggling to hold back his nut, desperately not wanting to bust it before hitting the "tweet" button. Of course, he couldn't do it and now has to backtrack :lol

affirmative action is the only plausible explanation for why broussard gets paid to fuck around on twitter. i trust incarcerated bob more than him

[StrengthAndHonor]

ESPN is reporting this deal is still in place...fwiw.

Sauces. With that said, it's amazing 10 and 8 will get you 17M. Barkley and Malone were born too early.

[Technique]

Tristan Thompson is overrated. He's a good hustle guy, but outside of rebounds & gimmies his ceiling is low.

Barkley and Malone would be playing In china if they were born in this era.

The Cavs are all overpaid by design, tbh..it was widely expected that Lebron was going to force Gilbert to pay a record amount of luxury tax..

Why? Wouldn't that affect Lebron more if they filled the team with bad contracts?

I know he wants to get back at Gilbert, but it doesn't make sense to have the team filled with bad contracts that could hinder them going forward by overpaying for players that might not live up to those contracts.

It doesn't really hinder them..while it's correct that they are overpaid, they are all relatively young and playing in an atrocious conference, their window will be open for years and they will benefit from continuity, too..

And LeBron is going to be 31 in 3 months, how much longer does he have left as the best player in the league? I think he could give a fuck about the Cavs' future.

[DMC]

To be fair, Chris didn't say he signed. He said his agent wanted him to sign for that deal.

So do you think LeBron will pull the ultimate troll job and leave the Cavs once they're capped out for seasons to come? Then Gilbert will be paying well into 9 figures for a borderline 2nd round team in the East.

Nah, you're looking at nominal figures. They made high 7 digit per year figures but you have to remember that food and similar things are now roughly three to four times as expensive as it was back in their playing days. The average middle-class adult paid $2,000 per year to eat back in 1995, and now pays over $8k.

Could happen, but I doubt it..I think he genuinely believes they are loaded enough to compete even if his minutes decline with age and he begins to conserve himself more during the RS..

That team has a wide open window in a shitty conference, there's no team in the East that appears to be anywhere near them or that appears to have significant potential in the future..
