After three seasons around the league, in which he wore the shirt of many teams, Tristan Thompson does his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The center originally from Canada has signed a one-year contract with the Ohio franchise. His agent Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports, announced this in a message to AP. The Cavs thus find a very experienced veteran, who will be able to take the field, but will be fundamental above all in the locker room and as a mother hen for the younger players.
Thompson brings a winning mentality, daughter of the title won in 2016 in Cleveland alongside LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. The former Texas big man played for nine seasons for the Cavs, who in those years managed to get to quattro Finals consecutive against the Warriors. He has played in 94 postseason games in his career, and few in the league can count on the same experience.
In the 2021-22 season Thompson played for three teams: Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls. He played in 57 games, including six as a starter, and averaged six points and five rebounds. Last season he initially didn’t find a contract, and only in March 2023 did he join the Lakers, even though he never took the field with the yellow and purple.
In the 2022-23 season i Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the Playoffs for the first time since 2018, the year of the last Finals and LeBron’s farewell. They went out in the first round to the Knicks, but still showed they had the qualities to compete in the Eastern Conference. The players – primarily Donovan Mitchell, Garland and Mobley – are there, and now we need to bring a winning mentality.
