One of the best defenders at PF? you could argue he isn’t the best defensive PF on the team. He had a negative defensive box plus-minus which was lower than Kevin Love’s, and he also had less defensive win-shares. The dude is just a glass cleaning specialist that happens to have the same agent as the best player in…

“and for all you can say about his offense, is one of the best defenders at power forward. “

I love stories about deals as much as the next guy, but I’m having trouble being intrigued about whether Thompson did the right thing to hold out and make $82 mil instead of settling for $80 mil. And I’m on the side of players making all they can (hello NFL players—get your shit together), but yawn.

This was a massive overpay for a dude that is gonna be Reggie Evans by the time his contract is up. The Cavs are gonna look like goddamn fools if they don’t get a ship this year.
