Tristan Thompson yes, yeah khloe's boyfriend. Tristan Thompson's contract with the CAVS up until now bogles my mind. Why has the CAVS not traded the guy up until now ?. The guy makes USD $16,4 million a year on the CAVS and is the 3rd most paid player on the team after Lebron and Kevin Love. The guy this season although out with a calf injury which will last for about 4 weeks he is averaging 4.4 points per game on 57% shooting, 6 rebounds per game.
I know the value of good rebounding but to salary a re-bounder 16.4 million seems to be really bad business. The guy is a starting Center/Forward on contending team and cannot even average double figures in scoring in a season. A guy kept on a team for rebounding but has not averaged double figures in rebounding in his whole 6 year career. The guy has not even added anything new to his offensive game ie..... no mid range shot , no 3 point shot, no improvement in post game.
Tristan Thompson is supposed to be traded by the CAVS and his value to the team is not worth USD $16.4 million per year. The rebounding is obviously important based on the CAVS vs ROCKETS game recently but the guy is not worth that much stats considered.
