I find it interesting that people take into consideration on LeBron possibly leaving because he would be "pissed" about Thompson's deal, or anything else for that matter.
Bron has already stated he plans to finish his career right here. After next summer when he signs his max deal, all of this so called "leverage" to keep the Cavs and Gilbert in check will be gone.
When you talk about getting Tristan's deal done, you have to be realistic. While LeBron surely wants his boy to be here and paid well, he isn't clueless when it comes to the salary cap situation. He isn't going to run to tell Griff and Gilbert to pay Thompson $90M just because he's friends with him.
TT's deal should and likely will be done soon, but I don't believe it pisses LeBron off one way or another, because at the end of the day Thompson will be in a Cavs jersey next season.
