Tristan Thompson’s agent continues to play hardball with the Cleveland Cavaliers, with reports indicating that he claims there are three teams willing to give his client a max deal after the 2015-16 NBA season.
Rich Paul, who has taken an aggressive stance with the Cavaliers ever since Thompson reportedly rejected a five-year, $80 million deal. It is believed that due to the impasse, Thompson will play out the upcoming season on a one-year, $6.9 million qualifying offer, and if that’s the case, Paul has indicated his client will be playing elsewhere the following season.
“A Tristan Thompson qualifying offer will be his last year with Cavs,” Paul ominously warned.
