Could there be some trouble brewing in Cleveland? Lebron invited the squad down to Miami to get some pre-training camp workouts in. When I say he invited his teammates, its more like he ordered them, given his position. Basically everyone will be there except one key player, Tristan Thompson.

James’ Miami-based gathering begins Friday, and news of the camp was reported Tuesday.
Thompson, a restricted free agent, is in the midst of a prolonged contract negotiation with Cavaliers brass.
Haynes confirmed most of the Cavs’ core players would be in attendance – namely Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Anderson Varejao, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, and new additions Mo Williams, Richard Jefferson, and Sasha Kaun.
Of course none of this means Thompson feels any type of way towards Lebron personally. But it is an example of the possible strain on the relationship between Thompson and the organization due to the contract talks.
Keep in mind, he may not be joining his teammates because he could have had a prior engagement. Either way, its noticeable that he wont be there.
