Time for Cleveland Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson to end stalemate (commentary)

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland Cavaliers insisted this wouldn't be an issue. General Manager David Griffin said for this group of veterans, it wouldn't be a concern.

Well, according to the team's superstar, that's not reality.

Sunday following practice LeBron James said there was an 'elephant in the room' when it comes to the lengthy stalemate between the club and restricted free agent Tristan Thompson.

Even if the Eastern Conference champs are capable of handling such an off-the-court disturbance, James has absolutely no desire of testing that out. He wants his guy in camp.
