Tristan Thompson

[inliner311]

This is the funniest shit I have read all year.

It is but it will nice to get a motivated TT back. I think he settled into his role while LeBron was here and just got too comfortable. We use to hear him trying to improve his game before LeBron got here then it stopped when LeBron got here. Maybe he will try to add moves around the rim. I remember when there was talk about him adding a 15 footer which we never saw.

I think his short 10 footer or so was actually a pretty good percentage

DeAndre Jordan was a "superstar" averaging 12pts, 15 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. Let's say TT becomes a "star" what would he have to average? 14pts, 12 rebounds, 1.5 blocks per game?

DeAndre was never a superstar man!

That's why I put it in quotes. ESPN like to refer to him as a superstar. I think that's the only hope for TT to become a "star". Just some over hyped ESPN version of what a star is.

At his best, DJ was also a phenomenal defensive player, and the key to Doc's system. Tristan does not have the foot speed to be that good on defense.

Well get ready for a bunch of Tristan post ups

He’s got the foot speed. What he doesn’t have is the hops to alter and block shots. He’s so bad at it.

If Tristan really feels that he thinks he can be a star now that lbj is gone then good for him. The guy is a guarantee 10/10 guy now. If he puts in the effort he could be somewhat more
We have him for two years or can move him at deadline or next offseason for a better return
We win either way

I think it is his anticipation. It's poor

'Thompson, who has two years left on his contract with the Cavaliers. Brow writes, “the insider tells HollywoodLife.com that he plans to ‘take the next two seasons of his career to make himself into something special. And he feels that can happen in Cleveland.'”'

Oh I see he was just biding his time and not adding superstar skill until LeBron left. Prob should have been working on those before 27

Or the Kardashians drained it all outta him..

 

[Futuredome]

He is just in the way. Need to find somebody we can match some contracts with and will get out of Ante's way.

 

[letgocavs]

I still like Tristan.

Problem is do you play him with Nance or Zizic? Uh oh big problem. Is he your 4th big? Uh oh, he won't be happy about that. If he can't play with either Zizic or Nance, they will have to play together. Ugh!

 

[OptimusPrime]

All this shit tells me is that he won't take a reduced buyout when it's time to stretch the last year of that disastrous contract next summer.
