Tristan Thompson and the Cavs are currently not making any progress toward a new contract. "I don’t know about relatively soon, but I hope so," Griffin said. "He’s restricted, we really like him. I think we’ll wind up getting something done." It's been a strange saga to follow after an agreement was reported for $80 million between the two sides, but clearly the two sides were never that close. With LeBron James signed and Thompson a restricted free agent, there's little reason for either side to blink.
