Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers are reportedly $14 million apart on a new contract, and with training camp less than a week away, neither side seems willing to budge.

Thompson will play for Cleveland this season, of course, so things aren't really that serious. But his agent has threatened that if Thompson doesn't get the max offer he's seeking now, then he'll bolt the franchise as an unrestricted free agent the moment he's able to do so next summer.
