Report: Cavaliers reach five-year, $35 million contract extension with Tyronn Lue


Coaches who win rings often get a pay bump. Guys who break a 52-year championship drought deserve one.

That includes guys who only coached half a season — especially ones working on the same contract they had before taking the big job.

Tyronn Lue and the Cavaliers just agreed to a healthy contract extension, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical at Yahoo Sports.




That seems fair.

What Lue got that his predecessor David Blatt never could was real buy-in from LeBron James and the rest of the Cavaliers. Blatt came off as wanting to be the smartest guy in the room at all times — and don’t you dare discount his experiences coaching in Europe — while Lue was more humble and more direct. He didn’t get to put in everything he wanted, and the team didn’t play faster for him (statistically) as he wanted, but there was better chemistry.

This isn’t rocket science for Cleveland — if you have a coach that your franchise player backs, and said coach has proven he can win, you keep him.

How did Lue get away with telling LeBron to shut the (bleep) up?

As a player, Lue earned just over $21MM during the course of his 11 year career ... I'm not sure how effective he really is on the sidelines, but an average of $7MM per annum under this new deal is exactly twice his high-water mark as a player. However, I'm still unsold on him as a coach ... but at least I don't see him making boneheaded moves like Blatt trying to call a timeout when he doesn't have any remaining as LeBron's poised to crush the souls of another team in the postseason. Princeton pedigree be damned, what a (bleep) moron ...

Lue saved his ass there, but we'll have to wait-and-see with him in the long-term ...

Should be interesting when Lebron starts declining...Lue will certainly make his money then.

Lebron's only 31. He's declined a little physically, but I actually think his game has been improving -- he's probably a good 3-4 years away from from hitting the slope.

The question will be if he goes into a quick, steep decline if he loses of his athletic (which some people have predicted would happen before he reached age 30) or if he adjusts his game and keeps going, transitioning more to a PF role.
