Don't call it a holdout, but when the Cavs open training camp Monday, the signs point to Sasha Pavlovic not being there.

The Cavs, meanwhile, appear to be preparing to move on by making free-agent moves and engaging in their most heated trade talks since July.

The sides have been far apart on a long-term deal for months. Now it appears the fallback option, a one-year so-called ''qualifying offer'' of $2.8 million, no longer seems to be an option.

Marc Cornstein, Pavlovic's agent, said Friday that Pavlovic is planning on letting the offer expire Monday. Pavlovic is in Europe with no plans to travel to Cleveland this weekend.
