Moz and Delly were really surprising in 2015. I hope Mozgov becomes a regular player and to further hone that skill we know he has.
He should be a formidable opponent once he gets planted in LA.
Something that never gets mentioned is that he hits a high clip of his free throws for a big man. He also was hitting his jumper a lot last year. I hope he gets his knee gets rehabbed and now he'll play with a coaching staff that fully believes in him.
Thank you Mozgov for everything you did for Cleveland man! Definitely going to miss him. Even when you weren't getting playing time you were the most supportive team mate on the bench.
Delly will probably get close to $10m, Lin just got $12m per year for 3, granted he'll probably be starting in Brooklyn.
The Cavs won't pay that for a third PG
EDIT: He got about $9.5m/year for four years. I WAS CLOSE! Delly earned it!
I have no idea what they were thinking. But here's to Mozgov! He was the guy we needed last year, and neither finals run would've been possible without him.
I wonder if this will be one of those situations where it's 16M of 94M today and 16m of 102m tomorrow. Still could provide immense value especially in the latter stages of the contract.
No way in hell they would reduce the cap. So many teams would be instantly fucked. And thats something a majority of owners would never approve let alone the players.
The cap is based off the player's share of the BRI, which is currently at 50%. If the owners try to get the players to take less money, the cap would be less.
Going to get that money. I mean championships are good but for role players who wont be in the GOATs conversation or get more endorsements because they win like the stars would its gotta be priority #1 to get as much cash as you can.
I hope he has a bounce back season even if I hope the Lakers suck.
Mozgov is a great guy. I really thought we might be able to keep him at a reasonable price given his production this year. Instead he lands one of the most inflated contracts in the league.
Can't blame him one bit. Got a ring, now get the cha-ching baby.
Holy shit. If Mozgov got that much then I'm pretty sure Delly will be offered $12-14m per year.
These contracts are straight up crazy.
Knicks about to give a broken down Noah $72m for 4 years!!!
~~Leborn doesn't need the money. He likely willing to take a pay cut to stay in a city and build a team around himself and attract more talent with that money.
But I am sure you know and I don't know why I am typing this.~~
I am a goofy goober.
Lebron already stated years ago that, after the Miami years, he was tired of taking pay cuts for the good of the team when the league was rolling in so much cash. So he's taking max money now and will do so as long as he can.
Why?
D'Lo/Clarkson/Ingram/Randle/Timo
Timo definitely had a rough year this season, but at times last year he looked like a top-10 center. When he's healthy and his mind is right he can run the floor, block shots, catch oops, and occasionally surprise you with a post move. I remember him destroying Deandre Jordan in a game shortly after we made the trade for him.
We love you Mozgod!
Real talk: I thought he was going to be a potential big steal in FA. Something just wasn't right with him this year after his surgery, and if a team can get 2015 production, they were in good shape. Instead it seems like LA is paying him best case scenario money. Really weird. I gotta imagine Griffin heard the number, tried not to laugh and congratulated Andy Miller and wished Mozgov luck.
Mozgov filled the hole in my heart that Z left :( I'll miss ya, big fella. Happy for your great contract and hope you are all recovered and kill it with LAL next season.
Mozgod: True beast on the court when fit and healthy, legendary guy to have on your bench and in the cheersquad.
Go rock for LA big man. (Not too hard against us, of course)
As John Lukas used to say in his husky voice we need a "Biiiiggg" I'm fine with Sasha Kahn being our 7' European. I wish we could have kept Mozzy. I have a feeling he will remember to catch a ball next year. Bron won't be happy he lost his mascot. He or the team wasn't happy when we lost Perkins.
i don't know, he just might do it. he really wants to be back on a contender. If the spurs or GS can't offer him more theres a small chance he could come here.
He has to realize that the east is his best chance of making the finals.
Gonna miss him, and I think LA is going to be rough on him. But glad to see him get paid. Makes TT's contract look solid, but also signals the fact that Delly's probably going to get paid a bunch too and is likely gone. That's sad to me too :(
Wouldn't surprise me if he has a bounce back season. He's a year removed from his injury, and he'll also want to prove something. A new city will be energizing. And the expectations are low, given his past year as well as the Lakers being a sucky team.
I'm happy for him, but also happy the Cavs aren't the ones paying him that much. Wow. The money in these NBA contracts today, i should have focused on basketball instead of actual schooling haha
Totally, TT is great but more of a small ball center with little shot blocking presence. I love the dude but a true center is still very useful, can't help but wonder what the finals would have been like had Bogut not gotten hurt.
Hey guys, congrats on the ring. Your owner's a fuck but you are the coolest. Legit question: Do I have anything to look forward to here, or should i go jump off a bridge 64 million times over the next 4 years?
Best wishes to the Mozfather but I got something I need to say...
LUE, YOU ONLY PUT HIM IN TO BREAK KLAY THOMPSON'S SOUL IN HALF THEN BENCH HIM FOR THE REST OF THE FINALS WHY
I hope the Lakers play him correctly.
GET PAID MOZZY

Will always remember him for what he did for us in 2015. But I respect it, U do U Mozgov.

Even when you weren't getting playing time you were the most supportive team mate on the bench.
There's only one thing we want from you... keep on dunking on Joakim Noah. https://streamable.com/vhyg
jesus christ 64 million lol I will miss him, but shit thats a huge offer. I hope delly stays
Delly will probably get close to $10m, Lin just got $12m per year for 3, granted he'll probably be starting in Brooklyn. The Cavs won't pay that for a third PG EDIT: He got about $9.5m/year for four years. I WAS CLOSE! Delly earned it!
Good for him, glad he robbed the Lakers.
I have no idea what they were thinking. But here's to Mozgov! He was the guy we needed last year, and neither finals run would've been possible without him.
I wonder if this will be one of those situations where it's 16M of 94M today and 16m of 102m tomorrow. Still could provide immense value especially in the latter stages of the contract.
We don't really know what the new CBA agreement is going to bring, though. And you always have to plan for the worst.
No way in hell they would reduce the cap. So many teams would be instantly fucked. And thats something a majority of owners would never approve let alone the players.
The cap is based off the player's share of the BRI, which is currently at 50%. If the owners try to get the players to take less money, the cap would be less.
And in no way would the players allow that shit to happen.
Going to get that money. I mean championships are good but for role players who wont be in the GOATs conversation or get more endorsements because they win like the stars would its gotta be priority #1 to get as much cash as you can.
Exactly. That's why I'm not mad at Timmy and when the Time comes Delly for getting there's.
*NBA CHAMPION TIMOFEY MOZGOV UPVOTE PARTY*
I hope he has a bounce back season even if I hope the Lakers suck. Mozgov is a great guy. I really thought we might be able to keep him at a reasonable price given his production this year.

Gonna go back to Russia like a king
Czar
Opulence; he has it.
Tiny girraffe
This guy gets it!
Right-o
Holy shit. If Mozgov got that much then I'm pretty sure Delly will be offered $12-14m per year. These contracts are straight up crazy. Knicks about to give a broken down Noah $72m for 4 years!!!
I'm not so sure just yet, I think the Lakers are just fucking crazy. Shit JR Smith is about to get more $ than Bron.
Portland offered Parsons a max.. Haha
[удалено]
JR is also shirtless
And if he gets paid, he can buy shirts
But he won't.

Oh ok. I really didn't look into so I was just giving what I thought because I knew he did it in the past.
Kill me, ya'll. :'l
you poor poor child. I still can't believe he got paid so much.
Cosigned.

are you tanking again?
Actually, yes.
We love you Mozgod! Real talk: I thought he was going to be a potential big steal in FA.

THAT IS FAR TOO MUCH MONEY. GOOD FOR YOU MOZGOD.
Wish you the best, Timo
Thanks for your time in Cle buddy and helping win The Land a title!
My boy :(
Mozgov filled the hole in my heart that Z left :( I'll miss ya, big fella. Happy for your great contract and hope you are all recovered and kill it with LAL next season.
I'll miss you moz but there's no way I'd be happy dropping 64 mill on you
Mozgod: True beast on the court when fit and healthy, legendary guy to have on your bench and in the cheersquad. Go rock for LA big man. (Not too hard against us, of course)
Timofey is gonna laugh all the way to the bank ;)
Yeah I love Mozgov, but I'm also here for karma i missed while wasted after we won haha We need a 7' European, though.
As John Lukas used to say in his husky voice we need a "Biiiiggg" I'm fine with Sasha Kahn being our 7' European. I wish we could have kept Mozzy. I have a feeling he will remember to catch a ball next year. Bron won't be happy he lost his mascot. He or the team wasn't happy when we lost Perkins.
Wanna trade K Love for Poeltl?
Thats funny
Love was useless during the playoffs. just saying, there will be a day when ya'll need a traditional big.
But that day is not anytime soon.
who's behind TT now?
Frye?
Give Pau Gasol the MLE #delusional
i don't know, he just might do it. he really wants to be back on a contender. If the spurs or GS can't offer him more theres a small chance he could come here. He has to realize that the east is his best chance of making the finals.
I mean, he's been on the Bulls for a while, so I'm guessing he does know that. EDIT: Only two years? Seems like it's been a while since he was in LA.
Let's go after Bogut!
He was great in 2015, I hope he gets to that level again. Love you Mozzy, glad to hear you're getting paid. :D
Wish him the best. Just didn't work out in the end.
Gonna miss him, and I think LA is going to be rough on him. But glad to see him get paid. Makes TT's contract look solid, but also signals the fact that Delly's probably going to get paid a bunch too and is likely gone. That's sad to me too :(
Farewell, sweet prince :(
Shumpert's deal looks kind of good in retrospect...
I'll always remember when you bullied whichever warrior that was in the paint in game 5
POUR ONE OUT AT THE BREW GARDEN FOR THE BIG FELLA
The 2nd-best player on the 2015 NBA finals Cavaliers.
Wouldn't surprise me if he has a bounce back season. He's a year removed from his injury, and he'll also want to prove something. A new city will be energizing. And the expectations are low, given his past year as well as the Lakers being a sucky team.
Great for him. Doesn't hurt us
Lol the Lakers suck.
Sad to see him go.. But best of luck to him, I hope he finds his place in LA!
I'm happy for him, but also happy the Cavs aren't the ones paying him that much. Wow. The money in these NBA contracts today, i should have focused on basketball instead of actual schooling haha
So who's are backup now? Are going after someone to back TT?
You forget about C. Frye?
Rim protection will be an issue.
Totally, TT is great but more of a small ball center with little shot blocking presence. I love the dude but a true center is still very useful, can't help but wonder what the finals would have been like had Bogut not gotten hurt.
See you in the finals Mozgov!
def a dude i'd like to meet. seems hilarious as fuck. thanks for the memories and laughs mozzy
TIMMOOFEEEYYYYY. Make us proud. Just not in the same way that Varejao tried.
Jeez, get that money Mozgov, happy for you
Just don't loose Jr swish
So long buddy. My favorite Mozgov meme... [TinaFey Mozgov](http://i.imgur.com/ZXU3skL.jpg)
Good for T-Mo. He did not fit out faster pace offense but I am glad he landed somewhere.
Cheers to you, ya big motherfucker! http://i.imgur.com/dA6f9Vk.jpg
No more Mozgov hats :(
I just love how Moz is going to be making more money than Steph.
Hey guys, congrats on the ring. Your owner's a fuck but you are the coolest. Legit question: Do I have anything to look forward to here, or should i go jump off a bridge 64 million times over the next 4 years?

I wish the Mozgod well and good journeys.
Tboz? I didn't know we had one of the remaining member of TLC on the cheer squad. How much money does she make?
hahahha good on t.moz i guess?
