Tristan Thompson

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
My thoughts on Tristan starting tonight:

Somehow I got reminded that he left his ex while she was pregnant to date Kloe and he didn't mention his son's first birthday at all, but is celebrating this new pregnancy on TV. That is just low class, man.

He's just not that down to earth hard worker anymore. That's the only way Cleveland fan's turn on you.

Who holds out through restricted free agency?

There are three possible scenarios where a player can hold out in restricted free agency, follow the simple steps below to see if you qualify!

1. Are you LeBron James?

If selected Yes than you qualified and can hold out during RFA

2. Are you a buddy of LeBron James?

If selected Yes than you qualified and can try and hold out during RFA

3. Are you a Butt Buddy of LeBron James and is your agent Rich Paul?

If selected Yes than you can hold out During RFA for as long as you want and you’re guaranteed a huge contract

Lue and company will continue to give TT minutes to see if he can figure it out.

He could even get heavy minutes in the first round.

I don’t see him being perma-benched until it gets real serious for the Cavs.

If you’re the Cavs it’s the most rational strategy. If he starts to play better and get back in to form it’s a gigantic pick up...if not you sit by the time you get to the second round....

I agree that this is probably the thinking of the Cavs organization. I don't like it, don't agree with it. But that's the most logical assumption to make.

You implied LeBron swings both way. Its non of my business but this is 1st time I’ve heard of this .

Hopefully he leaves Khloe too so he can get rid of the Kardashian curse and become a halfway competent player again.
 
Patiently waiting for TT to announce he now identifies as a female and gets some surgery.

Should have made Tristan take the Qualifying offer. It's like the only contract that they gave out that didn't have a team option and a partial guarantee. WTF

Its just sad with TT, man.

I mean we overpaid for him that summer. But its not like he stopped working after getting paid. He still gave us an excellent playoffs in 2016 and was huge in us winning our 1st Championship. So, it was a decent contract tbh. But what happened next, I don't think many, LeBron included, expected him to stop bothering after winning a Championship.

Injuries definitely played a huge part because he was never a skilled player. His game was solely dependent on him being absolutely relentless on the offensive board and play with full throttle energy. Due to injuries, he has lost lot of that bounce in his step and that agility which was key in him being really good at switching on to guards and defending them.

But he doesn't play with the same energy and intensity now. I am in "Athletes should do whatever the fuck they want in their free time as long as they don't harm anyone" camp but you watch TT now and see how he hasn't improved at all and its disappointing.

Shame really. Because he could have been a key core player for us and someone who would have been adored when he left Cleveland. Instead he will most likely end up his Cavs career as being thought of as a bum, which he deserves to.

Really is there any way she is low maintenance? I just can't imagine it doesn't impact his focus on bball.

They will not raise the baby long distance, she plans on traveling with him everywhere. They will have a home in LA, Cleveland and Toronto....

Yikes having her everywhere sounds worse. He should have a fraction of that commitment to his other child.

How do you know that?

ETA: Wonder what the odds are I'll get a decent answer to that question....
