While speaking to reporters after Sunday’s practice Cleveland Cavaliers F LeBron James addressed the Tristan Thompson holdout situation.  

“The last thing you need is a distraction when you try to make a championship run. And we have that right now,” James said. “It’s unfortunate for both sides that we’re going through it right now as a team.”

“I’m not going to go to them and tell them what they should do,” James added. “That’s their job. They know how to do it very well, and they’ve done that to this point. They’ve brought in and did what they had to do for us to be a contending team. Tristan is a big part of that run we want to make. I believe that something will happen.”
