The free-agent shooting guard has yet to re-sign with the organization, so he's steering clear of its events. He did say earlier this week he hopes he and the Cavs reach a contract agreement "soon."

Tristan Thompson shared the same photo, noting in his caption that it's "not the same without" Smith.

Last season's championship-winning roster - minus Smith and Mo Williams, according to sources of Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com - reunited Tuesday at the University of California-Santa Barbara to begin prepping for its title defense.
