Still think this is a massive overpay. Cavs folded. They had all the leverage and still agree to the 80 million? Good for TT on a personal level but this is gonna come back to bite Cleveland in the ass, in my opinion.

The most anticipated Meh signing of the offseason.

Way over pay. But as long as they sign moz next year it won't matter. Gilbert knows he only has a 3-5 year window. After that he will go back to raking in the tv money.

Tristian Thompson realize **** got real when Cavs pulled the offer. He sopped listening to that idiot Rich Paul and cashed in. Im glad Tristian Thompson got into his senses and realize NO TEAM WAS GOING TO OFFER YOU A MAX

Lol 16.4 mil per for 5 years to be a backup rebounder. Pretty absurd.

this is ludicrous amount of money for a one-dimensional role player.

Absurd contract for a rebounder off the bench but that's what happens when you are LeBron's buddy

Holding out over the Summer for 2 extra Mil is pretty good, Rich Paul still got that bluffing game on...

The cavs never pulled the deal. That was misreported.

Underpaid for his contributions.

I wonder if CLE realizes that their $82 mil rebounding specialist TT was 32nd in rebs/48min during the reg season and 34th in rebs/48min during the postseason

MASSIVE overpay. They were bidding against themselves. WTF?
