Tristan Thompson

Tristan Thompson appears to be taking the news that Kevin Love will replace him as the Cleveland Cavaliers’ starting center really well. Like, really, really, really ridiculously well. His response to the move, per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin: “I’m going to go for Sixth Man of the Year, put myself in position to do that,” Thompson [...]

Apparently there was a real chance that Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James could have been teammates this season. According to a report from Cleveland.com, before the Knicks agreed to the blockbuster trade to send Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 1st Round Pick, the Knicks tried to [...]

Tristan Thompson doesn’t care who wins the NBA’s MVP award, because he knows it won’t be LeBron James, who, in his eyes, is the real MVP (sorry).

When Timofey Mozgov arrived in Cleveland last year, his presence was largely thought to be the missing piece to a Cavs championship run. That may very well have been the case if the Cavs had not become decimated with injuries in the playoffs. But this season, we’ve seen David Blatt go with a smaller lineup [...]

Timofey Mozgov is having a season to forget. Unfortunately for him, the Cleveland Cavaliers do not suffer from short-term memory loss.

His minutes are down, [...]

It’s finally over. For real this time. After months of rumors and speculation and recycled reports reiterating that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson were at a contractual impasse, the two sides hammered out a five-year, $82 million deal.
