You are worth whatever someone gives you.
Tristan Thompson is an average center who is getting max money because the Cavs decided to pay him max money.
He plays well in the playoffs and is incredibly average in the regular season, that is who he is. If LeBron wasn’t on the team, would he have gotten max money?
No one will ever know, but it certainly didn’t hurt his cause. Tristan though lashed out at that notion.
“I earned my money,” Thompson told ESPN of his five-year, $82 million extension he signed in 2015. “LeBron’s not my agent. I earned my money doing what I do; you can ask anyone around the league. I opened doors for other guys. It’s a business, and you get paid what the market value is for you. I got my money and opened up doors for other guys that play hard and do the little things.”
Good to see he is taking up for himself, he hasn’t been afraid to snap back at LeBron when LeBron has essentially said everyone on the team is trash besides himself, Kyrie and K Love.
Tristan is also dealing with his girlfriend Khloe Kardashian having a breakdown because she thinks he will eventually go back to his baby mama.
