LeBron James could not have made his message to the Cavaliers any more succinct than he did last night when he posted "Get it done!!!!!" regarding the team's ongoing contract negotiations with Tristan Thompson. He decided to post the message after spending most of the day with Thompson at a wedding. While it appeared to be a suggestion (or direction) to the brass, LeBron claimed the message wasn't entirely for the team's management, saying today after practice "Throughout the negotiation process, it's always both sides." He also said "I'm not going to go to them and tell them what they should do."

From there he continued to get his thoughts out on the impasse, saying:

He also said it was "probably the last time" he was going to bring it up. With only 23 days left until the regular season we'd think one of these sides is going to have to blink soon.
