Completely off topic. Anyone else notice Karl Ravech is short and he always stands next to really big people. lol

Would be funny if he was solely responsible for shooting the Warriors out of the playoffs.

Well honestly, he won't play in the playoffs unless the Warriors get massively injured or in foul trouble.

It's a training camp contract, so it's non-guaranteed. There's a very likely chance he doesn't even make the roster, let alone see any meaningful minutes in a game.

[McMenamin] Tristan Thompson failed to pick up the Cavs' $6.8 million qualifying offer by the 11:59 p.m. ET


To answer your questions:

  • Tristan Thompson is now officially holding out.
  • He is still a Restricted Free Agent.
  • He can still work out a new contract with Cleveland.
  • He can still work out a new contract with another team, and Cleveland will still have the right to match.
  • He does not have the one year qualifying offer available to him anymore.
  • Sitting out the year is not an option, as he would still be a Restricted Free Agent next Summer.

Yes. He's still a restricted free agent no matter what he does.

And him not playing a whole season is going to convince no one.

Can't post the article from my phone but the one on yahoo says he had basically every drug imaginable in his system and he may have suffered a stroke as well. He might have brain damage. Very sad to see.
