The Tristan Thompson contract saga with the Cavaliers is reportedly over. According to ESPN’s Chris Broussard, Thompson is set to sign a three-year deal worth more than $50 million. The report:
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

If Thompson gets smallest-possible starting salary, Cavaliers in line for $186,870,100 payroll — $112,288,591 in salary, $74,581,510 in tax

Good point. Didn't account for Broussard's rounding. Thompson can't quite make $53 million over three years. https://t.co/2NOCldkTA8

UPDATE: Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that Broussard’s initial report is inaccurate, and that the two sides have NOT come to an agreement. Here we go again.
I've been told reports of extension for Tristan Thompson inaccurate. No deal struck, nor do #Cavs seem interested in reported 3/$53 million
