Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers remain at an impasse in contract talks, and it doesn't appear as though the sides are communicating regularly in order to resolve the situation.

Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com, via Chuck Myron of Hoops Rumors:

"I’m not really sure what the outcome will be, but all I know is Rich Paul is asking for five years and $94MM and the Cavaliers are $14MM short of that figure. That’s Randy Moss-type separation. There’s limited to zero communication because of that tremendous gap.
