The negotiating stance of Tristan Thompson and his agent Rich Paul became a lot more heated with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, with Paul saying that unless Thompson received a max deal from the team, the forward would leave after the 2015-16 season.
Canadian sportswriter Michael Grange released a pair of tweets on Monday that first stated Paul’s threat, while the second clarified that negotiations are continuing between the two sides.
“All I know is TT on Qualifying Offer will be his last year with the Cavs” — Rich Paul on Tristan Thompson negotiations.
