No fucking way I'd want TT on this team for 90mill or whatever. And there's a reason he still a free agent and is about to take the QO. Nobody in their right mind is giving him that and if someone does its an albatross as soon as he signs it.

Is Tristan Thompson Good Enough to be the "4" we've been waiting for?

Doesn't that mean they not only think he's valuable ... but he'll be worth at least that on the trade market?

When the player is playing under a one-year contract (excluding any option year) and will have Larry Bird or Early Bird rights at the end of the season. This includes first round draft picks following their fourth (option) season, who accept their team's qualifying offer for their fifth season. When the player consents to such a trade, his Larry Bird/Early Bird rights are not traded with him, and instead becomes a Non-Bird free agent
For one year after exercising the right of first refusal to keep a restricted free agent. The player must consent to a trade to any team, although he cannot be traded to the team that signed him to the offer sheet.
I found that second sentence to be interesting, so there'd really be no advantage to us making this trade financially, other than being able to "test-drive" TT before getting him.

Seems a decent summary of TT's up- and down-sides: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...james-leverage

Absolutely not worth what he is asking. I was surprised the Cav's put 80 on the table and to think he wants more.
No other side has come forward with that money which means that he is not worth that on the open market, if they had then TT would of jumped on it and tried to leverage the Cav's to sign. The whole thing is Rich Paul trying to drum up publicity that they could lose him whilst leveraging the LeBron connections to get the most money.
If he isn't worth that money on the open market then he is worth well less for the Raptors. He doesn't fit next to JV at all and we know who is the better player/piece to have going forward. The only fit he has is the hometown connection and emotions can't dictate max signings. I am all for the connection when it comes to 2nd and third string but when you sign a guy to a max who clearly isn't worthy then you are introducing bad practice and promoting idiocy. Players need to take cuts to come/stay home, San Antonio is the ideal example of players remaining for unders to stay in a good system.everybody wang chun tonight

TT is a fine player on an Amir like contract ($7.5M + inflation) but all this talk of max for TT is crazy.
Either the Cavs or the market will be crazy to sign TT for that. If it is the market, the number of "less than great" players getting max deals will shatter the free market concept of value.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

TT to raps makes little sense.
No spacing.
Can't compare to Zbo and Gasol because those guys are highly skilled and can space the floor to about 18 feet no problem.
If you put in a guy like TT you need shooters at PG and wing that can all hit 3 at above average rate.
