Tristan Thompson
Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally put an end to the long-running contract dispute when the 24-year-old Canadian forward accepted an $82 million dollar deal spread over five years.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson continue to be at a stalemate but if there is one player who could possibly help and make both parties meet, it would have to be Lebron James.
The 24-year-old reserve power forward is coming off a stellar postseason where he led most players in rebounding. Whether that warrants a $94 million deal may depend on his performance this season.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have technically started training camp if you consider the advanced efforts of Lebron James of calling his teammates over in Miami as such. But officially, training camp does open next week, September 29.
Things are looking gloomier as each day passes with Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers not appearing to be anywhere close of coming to terms.
Tristan Thompson is not expected to go anywhere though the Cavs center has yet to sign on the dotted line to make it official.
