ESPN's Chris Broussard reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers had agreed to a deal with forward Tristan Thompson, but backtracked on that story in a less than an hour.

Broussard's report is different than a another report that says Cleveland has already offered Thompson a 5-year, $80 million deal.
Thompson was a beast on the glass in the postseason, averaging nearly 11 boards per game. He averaged 8.5 points per game and 8.4 rebounds during the season lst year.
