The Cleveland Cavaliers may have pulled their five-year, $80 million offer to Tristan Thompson after the deadline to sign his qualifying offer expired.

The Cavaliers could have kept that offer on the table to Thompson, but were under no obligation to do so.

"I heard it was Mark Termini doing the actual negotiating, and he has a reputation for taking a really hard stance in negotiations, but I think he seriously miscalculated this one," reports Larry Coon. "Maybe he was thinking LeBron would be more of an influence on the team."
