why does cleveland pay this guy 80 million a year to get rebounds
>>68240080
Because half of them are offensive rebounds and those aren't easy to get.

Blackmail
Well, he destroyed the Warrirors megasmallball under the boards, yesterday.
He's still paid way to much, though.
>>68240080
You obviously didn't watch the game last night
>>68240080
>80 million a year
>>68240080
Because he has the same agent as Lebron and Lebron is the Cavs GM.
>>68241799
>mfw LeBron leaves this summer and the cavs are stuck with him
>>68240080
because he was great in creed
GM has unlimited money and they're already over the cap space so why not?
The truthful answer is that they had very little cap space but they had bird rights for him so could go over the cap. It was either sign him to a big contract or try and find some schmuck to replace him for like 1mil a year.
Also he's LeGM's friend

NBA cap is not a hard cap anyway. If the owner is willing to pump infinite money, nothing prevent him from doing so. He'll just have to pay the luxury tax.

Is Dan Gilbert willing to do that, though?
>>68241790
>what is luxury tax?
caps expanding and at worst he will be trade bait
they also needed someone like him now and he was the best choice
Same agent as LeBron
>>68244271
>trade bait
>implying anyone would want him at that contract
JUST
why does Houston pay this guy 80 million just to score points
>>68244138

Sorry bandwagon :^)
>>68244625
Why would anyone follow that process when it's a proven meme
>>68240080
'Cause most of those are offensive rebounds also he has nice hands and soft touch. Plus he murders the memeoirs everytime.
>>68240080
because it was already arranged that he can push and shove to get rebounds without getting called for a foul.
*watch.
>>68240080
Because his agent is LeBron's agent/best friend. So LeBron cucked Dan 'comic sans' Gilbert into giving TT a retarded contract to help his buddy out.
>>68249446
Every time.
Because they need rebounds and have $80 million.
