Tristan Thompson's future with the Cleveland Cavaliers remain in doubt after the two sides failed to reach a long-term extension. Now, Sheridan Hoops is reporting that Thompsons could leave the Cavs to sign with his hometown Raptors next summer:
There are rumblings that agent Rich Paul could deliver another client to his hometown team in the near future. Several league executives believe Canadian Tristan Thompson may head north to Toronto in the summer of 2016 if he signs his one-year, $6.8 million qualifying offer with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“I always thought he was going to end up (in Toronto) this year,” one Eastern Conference general manager told SheridanHoops. “There’s going to be so much money next year so I think he will get it.”
Thompson averaged 8.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game last season.
