Cavs owner Dan Gilbert just tweeted that he and Kyrie Irving have shaken hands on a max contract extension. Quite a coup for CLE out of gate
well, that didn't take long...
It's interesting because statistically Isaiah Thomas was just as good as Irving and by advanced stats even better but he's probably gonna get like 7-8 mil while Irving gets 18...
good for him and good move by the cavs organization.
now if Wiggins develops into the players he's capable of being... they could be a force for the next decade.
great to hear
It's not like they need the cap space in the future.

Key word here is statistically. Irving alone will sell plenty more tickets than Isaiah Thomas could. It's also widely considered that Irving had a down year and is reasonable to think that he can get better, whereas Thomas' physical limitations might have seen him hit his peak already. Irving has the ability to single handedly win a game for you, I'm not so sure the same can be said about Thomas.
Horrible, horrible move by Cleveland.
This dude ain't worth 90 mill

You're just basing that off of one season though. Irving has been putting up these numbers since his rookie season and he can easily get better to where he could possibly be a 25 PPG scorer. I don't see Thomas turning into that.

So...you don't give him the max, he turns it down and goes somewhere else for the max. Is that what you're saying you'd do?
money well spent.
a cornerstone star to build around and attract other big free agents for the next 6 years...
