Tristan Thompson Deadline Passes; Now What?

Many Cleveland Cavaliers fans stayed up until midnight waiting to see if Tristan Thompson would sign the Qualifying Offer. The QO was the 1 year deal the Cavs had to extend to Thompson to make him a Restricted Free Agent. Thompson, and his agent, had until midnight to accept that deal. Rich Paul had reportedly threatened that Thompson would indeed sign it and then leave after the season. The Cavs called his bluff.

Last night, Paul had to fold that hand.

So what does that mean for Thompson and the Cavs moving forward.
