Signing a average role player to 83 million is stulid, no matter how you try to justify it. Could have signed a guy like Reggie Evans (great offensive rebounder) for the league minimum. Cavs only did it because they are scared of death of not giving Lebron whatever he wants. Even over paying for a average role player.

Why would you sign anyone for that much money to get rebounds. And only rebounds? Just sign some fucking 7 foot faggot and he'll grab balls all day long.

Besides Love and Mosgov are already great rebounders.

They paid him because he's Lebron's buddy. Anyone with common sense knows this. If Lebron was not a Cav, there is no chance in hell they give Thompson 83 million. He probably wouldn't get half of that anywhere else.

The problem is if they don't win.
If Lebron bails agin you are stuck with a very over payed PF that no one will trade for. There is a reason good teams to overpay for players. Cavs are just desperate. Sounds like Cav fans are as well.

Dennis Rodman was averaging less than 5 points per game on the '97 Bulls. Just to put things into perspective.

Call me when Thompson turns into a lockdown defender and averages 15+ RPG even once, much less less 6 times like Rodman did.

Never said Thompson is on Rodman's level, retards. Just pointing out that a player who can't score and "just rebounds" is still immensely valuable.

not $82 million valuable, retard.

Even with inflation Rodman would be making less than $6.6 mil a year today and he was a hall of fame level defender/rebounder.

You fucking retard, in 97 there were only two players earning more than 20m a year, Jordan and Ewing. And only 9 players were making more than 10m, Hakeem fucking Olajuwon was making half of what Carmelo is making right now.

What part of "he's not worth 83 million USD" don't you get? Nothing wrong with rebounders, but you don't pay them what the Cavs did for Thompson. Also ignoring the 100 million they game Love, another PF!
Signing Thompson to that deal, was fucking stupid.

83 million now is different than 83 was back then.

9 players were making 10+ in 97.
70 players are making 10+ in 2015

If Rodman played right now he'd be making way more money than Thompson.

This is fucking fact. There are elite players who aren't getting that kind of money. Thompson is a decent role player. He's not a #1 or #2 option. Which is what he's getting paid like. Mind you he's also a fucking backup, and the guy in front of him is getting 100 million!
Are you really this dense? Thompson got paid double his actual worth.

They did overpay him. I don't give a fuck as long as he contributes to a ring, see: >>63142684

But saying LOL HE ONLY SCORED 5 POINTS doesn't matter, as scoring wasn't his job to begin with.

They already were going to have luxury tax penalties, so it's not like they had much of a choice.

He's overpaid as fuck, but if they let him go then they'll have even worse depth than last year. At least it isn't his original request for a fucking max contract.
