Yeah, I'm not so sure the Cavs even want JR back.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cavs go after:

Norris Cole from the Pelicans (he's a RFA, but maybe they want cap relief)
Prince
Caron Butler
Ariza
Mo Williams
JJ Barea

Don't want Cole, Prince is garbage anymore, Butler is old but I'd take him, Ariza we don't have a chance, Mo is supposedly courting Memphis, and Barea is all but signed I thought?

Mo Williams is about the only player I'd want out of this group.

I also am apathetic about JR. If we get him great, if we don't, we'll be alright.

I would take Ariza off the bench in a heart beat. Also, I want jr back. Can't hold his finals performance against him. He wasn't supposed to be our second scoring option.

Again, apathetic towards JR. I like having him but I am okay with him going elsewhere. He's not a critical piece.

I'd absolutely take Ariza. He'd be a GREAT fit. Good defender with length, can guard the wing and knocks down 3's.

What's the hold up in the TT deal? I thought they agreed on length and dollars so what's the problem?

My concern is that, yes...he's playing the "good soldier" but when is "bad" (attitude/cancer) JR going to rear it's ugly head? So far, it hasn't and I think LBJ can keep him in check but you never know.

It did rear its head when he was suspended for the first 2 games against the Bulls.

I'm curious what the hold up is for Thompson, as well. Prior to free agency, it was reported that he wanted $13M a year. Then, the report of 5 years at $80M comes out ($16M a year). Curious what could be a sticking point.

There's a sticking point with TT? I haven't read this.

Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers have yet to come to an agreement on contract figures after reportedly coming close on Wednesday.

Reports on Wednesday had Thompson close enough to inking a deal worth $80 million that Draymond Green and his representatives based Green's deal on those numbers, but it sounds like things have stalled. While the Cavs are still the favorite to land one of LeBron James' favorite teammates, we'll have to wait to see if the two sides can come to agreement before we officially consider the restricted free agent a Cavalier for the foreseeable future.

TT has no leverage. He's RFA, Cavs offering him the most. He signs a deal elsewhere Cavs match. Welcome back to Cleveland TT!

I wonder if he's wanting something north of Draymond's contract now. Seemed like it was smooth sailing until Green signed... Guess what, TT, you rebound and not much else. Green deserves more than you.

Agreed, I thought it was ridiculous. Glad the Warriors are strapped for that amount now, though.

TT will always be able to rebound. Green wont always be a great shooter/athletic enough to continue to play 3/4.

So he will have a major decline the next 5 years? Don't know about all that.

Did you ever find a link for Windhorst dropping DeRozan's name? Mentioned it to a Raps fan and they thought it was the dumbest thing in the world.
