Deadline Looms for Tristan Thompson – Will He Sign the Cavs Qualifying Offer

The wait will soon be over when it comes to Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson and his decision on if he will be at training camp tomorrow or not with the Eastern Conference Champions.

Thompson, if you may have forgotten, is still sitting there with a $6.8 million dollar qualifying offer from the team, but is still looking to get a long term deal from the franchise.

Today Cavs GM David Griffin spoke about Thompson, and says that he expects the forward to sign his qualifying offer and report to came Friday.

“We fully expect (Friday) he’ll be here in some form or fashion and we’re excited to get going,” Griffin told NBA TV during a live broadcast of Thursday’s Cavs practice.
