The Cleveland Cavaliers still haven’t re-signed Tristan Thompson, and they don’t seem that upset about it.
Despite spending almost half a billion dollars on offseason additions — mostly in the form of in-house signings — the Cavaliers still haven’t figured out what to do with Tristan Thompson. It’s been a standoff all summer long, as Thompson wants more money than the Cavalies are clearly willing to pay him.
There have been compromises on both ends, but still not enough to get a deal agreed upon by either Thompson or Cleveland. At Media Day on Monday, GM David Griffin commented on the negotiations between the Cavs and Tristan and noted that the team is excited about this upcoming season no matter what happens.
