If you’re a  Cleveland Cavaliers fan, you’ve no doubt enjoyed having the official team app installed on your phone. For the past few days, said app has been firing off celebratory alerts left and right.

“The Cavs have signed Kevin Love!”

“It’s official – Iman Shumpert has been re-signed!”

“The mission continues! Cavaliers have re-signed LeBron James!”

Understandably, these are exciting times for the Cavs. Their marquee free agents are returning, and though it’s resulting in a massive luxury tax bill, Cleveland looks prepped and ready to go on yet another title run.

Lost in all of this, though, is one key alert nobody seems to have received just yet. This would be the re-signing of power forward Tristan Thompson. After excelling in his first ever postseason this spring, Thompson has done plenty to earn himself a new contract. On the opening day of free agency, word was he and the Cavs were closing in on a deal.

However, out of nowhere, the talks reportedly stalled. It seemed both sides were apart on a few details, but nothing which would prevent a deal from eventually being struck. Adding to the pressure was James saying he wasn’t going to re-sign with Cleveland until the Thompson contract was finalized.

Well, James is back. And yet, Thompson still hasn’t put pen to paper or even come to an agreement on terms. This has caused some to wonder if this is a cause for concern. However, it should be stated that no matter how long it takes, the odds still overwhelmingly favor Thompson staying in Cleveland.

Almost immediately after word broke James was re-signing, many people just assumed this was a sign Thompson was about to do the same. These thoughts were trumped when ESPN noted these two weren’t a package, and the Thompson deal isn’t imminent.

Regardless of this, there’s a reason why you aren’t seeing Thompson meeting with any other teams just yet. As a restricted free agent, even if he receives an offer sheet from another franchise, the Cavs have a right to match it. If Cleveland has indicated anything in the past couple weeks, it’s that no price tag is too high.

Thompson can ask for all the money he wants, but the fact remains he doesn’t have all the leverage here. He can drag the talks out, he can meet with other teams, none of it would change the fact the Cavs have the upper hand. Even if Thompson tried to get an offer sheet out of another franchise, it might be tough for him to sell it to said team as anything more than baiting Cleveland into matching it.

The issue appears to be Thompson’s belief he’s earned the same amount of money Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green received (five years, upwards of $80 million). And, while you can certainly argue Thompson’s playoff performance definitely merited a raise, you also know asking for the kind of money Green received is a bit much.

The reasons are pretty black and white. Green starts, Thompson doesn’t. Green is solid on both ends of the court, Thompson struggles offensively more often than not. Both are good players, but I’m sorry, Thompson is not on the same level as Green.

To be honest, giving Thompson $80 million – as the Cavs were rumored to be doing – is already a bit higher than his true value. I’m not sure who’s been whispering in his ear convincing him he’s worth more than this, but whoever it is might be out of their mind.

My guess is Thompson might be using the chip of sharing an agent with James a little bit too much to his advantage. Yes, having the same agent of the best player in the world is definitely a good thing. At the same time, by trying to ask for more than he’s worth, it appears Thompson could be taking this a bit too far.

I still believe a deal is going to be made between these two sides. In the end, it probably won’t be as much Thompson is trying to ask for (at least, I would hope it won’t). He can continue to vie for more money than the Cavs are offering, but his being a restricted free agent is going to prevent him from having the upper hand.

It may take a day, it may drag through the summer, but make no mistake; the odds of Thompson playing anywhere besides Cleveland next season are still pretty slim.
