克利夫兰骑士队已经显示出一些意愿，让特里斯坦-汤普森成为他们未来的一部分，这位老将将将走向自由球员。
据克利夫兰网站的克里斯·费多（Chris Fedor）说，骑士队将汤普森视为他们的一些初出茅庐的年轻人的领袖和榜样，比如柯林·塞克斯顿（Collin Sexton）和大流士·加兰（Darius Garland）：
汤普森是年轻人的伟大领袖和榜样，他体现了骑士的意义。小凯文·波特和大流士·加兰都说，他们不知道如果没有汤普森和凯文·洛夫，球队在第一个多月里会在哪里。汤普森乐观向上，每天都带来积极的能量，是团队中最努力的员工之一。他的影响很难衡量，因为它超出了得分范围。暂时抛开这些天赋，让合适的人参与重建往往会决定重建是否成功。
不过，Fedor报告说，该小组尚未与汤普森阵营进行讨论：
据消息人士透露，克利夫兰的前台和汤普森阵营之间还没有就续约进行过任何真正的对话，这是本次辩论中的另一个选择。目前的看法是汤普森的阵营不想现在就承诺，几个月后汤普森打自由机构。你可以理解为什么，尤其是考虑到他现在的表现。
汤普森正处于他职业生涯中最好的赛季。这位28岁的球员场均14.1分、10.4个篮板和2.3次助攻，一直是球队防守缺乏真正的拦网球的主力。

Cavaliers interested in making Tristan Thompson part of core, but no extension talks yet
原文：
The Cleveland Cavaliers have shown some willingness to make Tristan Thompson part of their future with the veteran forward heading for free agency.
According to Chris Fedor of cleveland.com, the Cavs regard Thompson as a leader and role model for some of their budding youngsters, like Collin Sexton and Darius Garland:
Thompson’s a great leader and role model for the young guys, someone who embodies what it means to be a Cavalier. Both Kevin Porter Jr. and Darius Garland have said they have no clue where the team would be in the first month-plus without Thompson and Kevin Love. Upbeat and bringing positive energy every day, Thompson is one of the hardest workers on the team. His impact is tough to measure because it stretches beyond the box score. Setting aside the talent for a moment, having the right people in a rebuild will often determine whether it’s successful.
However, Fedor reported that the team has yet to engage in discussions with Thompson’s camp:
According to sources, there havenât been any real conversations between Clevelandâs front office and Thompsonâs camp about a contract extension — the other option in this debate. The current belief is Thompson’s camp wouldn’t want to commit right now, months from Thompson hitting free agency. You can understand why, especially given how he’s playing.
Thompson is in the midst of the best season of his career. The 28-year-old is averaging 14.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game and has been an anchor for a team defense that lacks true stoppers.
