Zero discussion on an extension between Tristan Thompson and Cavaliers
The deadline for the Cavaliers and Thompson to agree to a rookie-scale extension is Oct. 31.
According to Cleveland.com, The deadline for the Cavaliers and Thompson to agree to a rookie-scale extension is Oct. 31. That's less than a week away and sources close to the situation says, "There has been zero discussion on an extension" between the two sides.
It's no secret Thompson's agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, also represents the one guy responsible for the bright lights returning to Quicken Loans Arena with the Cavaliers boasting a league-high 29 national televised games.
If a deal is not reached by the deadline, Thompson will become a restricted free agent in the summer of 2015. Cleveland would then retain the right to match an offer sheet to Thompson, and they could also attempt to sign him themselves at that time.
However, with a big increase in the salary cap coming for next year, it is unlikely that the value of the double-double producing power forward will decrease.
