Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to a five-year deal worth $82 million, his agent, Rich Paul, said Wednesday. The deal, which is fully guaranteed at an average of $16.4 million annually, ends the league's most significant holdout six days before the start of the NBA season. Thompson, 24, had been seeking a max contract of either five years, $94 million or three years, $53 million, while the Cavaliers had been unwilling to go past $80 million. While Thompson settled for less than the max, his deal is larger than many league officials thought he would get heading into the summer. Last fall, the Cavaliers offered Thompson a four-year deal worth $50 million that he turned down. Cavaliers general manager David Griffin could not be reached for comment. Thompson, drafted by the Cavs fourth overall in 2011 out of Texas, averaged 8.5 points and 8.0 rebounds while coming off the bench last season. His considerable value to the Cavaliers was seen in the playoffs when he started 15 games in place of the injured Kevin Love. Averaging 9.6 points and 10.8 rebounds, Thompson helped the Cavaliers reach the NBA Finals, where they lost in six games to Golden State. Thompson, one of the league's best offensive rebounds, averaged 4.4 offensive rebounds during the playoffs. LeBron James, who is also represented by Paul, has said several times that the contract impasse was a "distraction,'' that both sides need to get the deal done, and that he believes Thompson should end his career in Cleveland. 大意：就是以82M的价位签了五年.... 来源：ＥＳＰＮ https://goo.gl/bPgxGf 心得: 哎...还是以这麽高价签了..落幕是好事拉,希望TT能好好表现,别受伤.. --
