So according to yahoo reports TT agrees to the original deal that was offered to him at the beginning of the offseason.
Good call there by Cleveland, seeing through Paul's bluff, glad that is over.

The Cavs are stacked, one of the best rosters I can remember in the last 15 years.
I guess Jared Cunningham will get the last spot over Quinn Cook.

Congrats fellas

Too much for Tristan, but it's not my money being spent here. So in that regard, Props to Dan Gilbert for putting his money out there and going all-in for a title right now. I think it was very important to resolve this now before the season starts.

Glad the deal got done and glad we didn't cave. He's still getting way overs anyway.

Hopefully there's not too much of a damaged relationship. Paul threatening TT would sign the QO was just stupid.

This whole saga has come at some cost though. TT sure could have used all this time working with the team and working on some of his many flaws.

Oh well we have a great roster let's pray for health.

So now that he's signed does TT play more or less then last season do they start Thompson and Love?
When the rich rob the poor it's called business, when the poor fight back it's called violence.

Everybody plays less; once healthy and until someone goes down.

Expensive for a backup PF without much skill set, but it needed to be done. Finally.

It gives the cavs a lot of versatility. Starting lineups and min will depend on the opposition. Once Kyrie and Shump come back, this team will be 10 deep and incredible to watch. can't wait
