The soap opera that is the Tristan Thompson contract negotiation saga continues to have new twists and turns.
Last week, the deadline for Thompson to sign passed and the Cavaliers removed all merchandise and signage related to the backup power forward from the team shop, online store and arena.
There is a growing sentiment among Cavs fans that the team doesn’t need him and if he wants to walk, then just let him.
The Cavaliers front office appears to be sending him that same message by their latest actions, but the guy whose opinion is really the only one that matters is LeBron James.
