Thompson will play for the Cavaliers this season; that much was never in question. But if his agent is to be believed, this next year will be Thompson's last in Cleveland if he doesn't get the max contract that he's seeking.
What's weird about all of this is just how much more money Thompson could earn if he were to wait until next summer to sign. But perhaps the feeling in Thompson's camp is something along the lines of, if the Cavaliers won't give him a max contract now, they won't give him one next summer.
