LeBron James has remained a bystander in contract talks between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson.

James' agent, Rich Paul, also represents Thompson.

James has passed on multiple opportunities to apply public pressure to the Cavaliers and hasn't commented on it via social media.

When Eric Bledsoe was a restricted free agent last summer, James urged the Phoenix Suns to make a deal via social media. Bledsoe is another client of Rich Paul.
