Do Cavs Have A Deal With Tristan Thompson?

Updated: There were initial reports via Twitter, suggesting the Cavaliers and restricted free agent Tristan Thompson had reached a deal on a short-term contract.

“NBA SOURCES CONFIRM AGENT RICH PAUL WILL HAVE TRISTAN THOMPSON SIGN A 3 YEAR – $53 MILLION CONTRACT WITH CAVS.

Great deal for Tristan Thompson, who gets more than $17 mill per year. Cavs’ biggest lingering question of the offseason is answered”

However Jason Lloyd of the Akron Journal is refuting that report:
‏

“I’ve been told reports of extension for Tristan Thompson inaccurate. No deal struck, nor do #Cavs seem interested in reported 3/$53 million”

Updated Again:

“Sources: Tristan Thompson is WILLING to sign a 3-year, $53 million deal with the Cavs. Cavs have not yet agreed to the deal.”
