Cavs: Tristan Thompson will bolt if he doesn't get long term deal

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Which begs the question, again, who will pay him close to what the Cavs are offering?

No one outside of the Cavs would offer him more than 4/50 and yet he'll get his 5/90 from the Cavs. #GM Lebron

No it doesn't beg the question. Begging the question is a logical fallacy, circular reasoning. What you mean is it raises the question, not that it begs the question.

I see people making this confusion all the time.

Please Danny G, pay this got his hundred millions or whatever. I want to see your pocket book bleed lux taxes.

Tristan Thompson is a horrible basketball player. He has one skill: offensive rebounding. Every other part of his game sucks donkey s.

People get that wrong because everyone always gets it wrong.

And that just begs the question as to how did people started getting it wrong in the first place.

Tristan Thompson is threatening to turn down $80 million and leave the Cavs if he doesn't get a maximum contract

what the is wrong with this

It's tough because he's not worth a ton league-wide in terms of his skill-set, but he's worth a lot to the Cavaliers in terms of what he brings to them.

Andy V is coming back though and he plays that same energizer bunny role. Probably not as good at offensive rebounds but a better offensive player overall so I wouldn't overpay for TT unless it's really going to upset LeGOAT.

Yeah but that's a strawman.

Varejao has been hurt almost every year for the last five years or more. He can't be counted on. TT on the other hand has played all 82 games in each of the last three years. He's a tank. I agree that Varejao is a better player but he doesn't do the Cavaliers much good when he's hurt all the time.

The idea of a five year max deal for Thompson seems obscene until you note Matthews just got a four year max deal. He'll probably end up with a four year max deal though, he has nowhere to go.
