If Tristan Thompson decided today that he wanted to sign the reported five-year, $80 million contract the Cleveland Cavaliers offered him, it doesn’t sound like he would have the option of doing so.
Larry Coon of Basketball Insiders reports that the Cavs have pulled their best offer to Thompson off the table.
One assumption I think we’re safe making is that if there was a big offer sheet waiting for him, he would have signed it by now. The Cavs were under no obligation to leave their $80 million offer on the table, and from what I heard, pulled it as soon as Thompson’s qualifying offer expired.
