Tristan Thompson was invited to a training session with the Lakers. The former comrade of LeBron James at the Cavaliers was an important member of the title-winning squad in 2016. Since then, water has flowed under the points and the pivot is now far from son level of yesteryear… with nevertheless contributions which therefore interested La La Land.

Tristan Thompson was so serious: interviewed by ESPN a few weeks ago, the boy was talking about a meeting at Los Angeles between him and LeBron James. The two thieves were part of the legendary Cavaliers team from 2015-16, which won one of the most beautiful NBA titles in history. Now with a career average of 9 points and 8 rebounds, he was once a machine double-double at the top of son art.
But it would be about reminding the ex of Kardashian that this beautiful memory now goes back 7 years. On the decline since leaving Cleveland, his minutes have frankly decreased, as have his statistical averages. At home Celtics in 2020, then to the Kings, Pacers and Bulls the following season, the pivot revolved around 7 units and 5 catches each evening. Enough to feed a little… when coming off the bench, at most.
