Here’s Cleveland.com with the latest on the Cavaliers and unsigned free agent Tristan Thompson:
It’s the two-week mark of the Tristan Thompson holdout, which means it’s time to give an update on the proceedings.
There’s no communication ongoing between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Thompson’s agents, Rich Paul and Mark Termini, Northeast Ohio Media Group has learned.
In fact, there doesn’t seem to be a sense of urgency from either side in reaching an agreement. And that means Thompson’s stalemate will continue to hover over the organization like a black cloud, a cloud LeBron James considers “a distraction.”
It may be time to signal to the dugout for Cavs owner Dan Gilbert.
Thompson’s presence on and off the court is sorely being missed. Internally, members of the Cavaliers have expressed to each other how it would be such an unnecessary hurdle to try to contend for a title without their best offensive rebounder and most versatile big defender.
