Tyronn Lue: 5yr / $35M extension

Good for him. Lue > Iverson.

 

I guess coaches are cashing in like the players.

 

With this contract he'll make more than he did as a player. Amazing.

 

Well deserved, he turned LerBon into a disciplined superstar and brought out the super skills in the finals.

 

LeBron and Lue probably gonna retire together.

 

What is LeBron's cut of the $35M?

 

Didn't JVG max out at $6 million a year?

 

$35 mi; that's probably more than he made during his entire NBA player career. Lol.

 

Calling it now: Lue will win COTY next season, then get fired the season after.

 

I'm glad to have witnessed the birth of a coaching genius. I'll be able to tell my children someday that I've followed the great Lue since the beginning. What a time to be alive.

 

the waterboy could've coached that team into the finals

 

Any championship winning coach should be rewarded with a solid deal, but the money is a little high. I don't see anyone else paying him that kind of money, there's no threat out there. But it doesn't affect their cap, so whatever. Not my money.

 

He should give 95% of it for Lebron. He got the old coach fired and won him a ring.

 

Perfect pic of Blatt haha

You can go ahead and adjust for inflation on your own...but wow the man got one of his nicest paydays mostly for just being in the right place at the right time haha. Lebron should be getting a nice thank you gift very soon

 

Being at the right place & the right time for Lue... I'm happy for him.

 

LeBron James makes everyone around him rich.

Kudos.

 

Ty Lue says Cavs have come too ‘predictable’ due to limited playbook

 

you went thru all those trouble to find this old thread to add some useless comment, capt obvious? Don't think Cavs' offense got anything to do with Lue's contract.

 

this is the only Lue thread I could find
