The Cleveland Cavaliers are readying themselves for the season, despite Tristan Thompson's contract holdout.
When Thompson opted not to attend training camp Friday after letting a one-year, $6.8 million qualifying offer expire Thursday, the Cavs got busy removing the restricted free agent's likeness from all signage in Quicken Loans Arena, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.
The Cavs kick off the preseason action against the Atlanta Hawks on Oct. 7.
