Tristan Thompson

LeBron James has a message for Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hurry up. James caused quite a stir on Saturday night when he posted a picture of himself and Thompson at the wedding of a mutual friend with the caption “Get it done!!!!” Some interpreted the picture as him trying to play general manager [...]

Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson neglected to call the current contractual stalemate a “holdout.” That’s primarily because Thompson had until Thursday (yesterday) to sign the one-year qualifying offer, since they were not able to come to terms on a longterm deal. But that deadline has come and gone, so is it a holdout [...]

Tristan Thompson must’ve finally come to the same realization that the Cavs did a while ago: he’s not a max player. Thompson has reportedly lowered his max offer demands. Per ESPN’s Chris Broussard, Thompson is willing to sign a 3-year, $53 million deal. However, no deal has been struck. Sources: Tristan Thompson is WILLING to [...]

Thompson’s months-long standoff with the Cleveland Cavaliers is truly shocking. Want to know why? Because of LeBron James. It’s not that Thompson is so valuable the Cavaliers should have bent to his max-contract demands already. It’s not that Cleveland is playing hard ball, when it’s not as if it can take the money allocated for [...]

Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still at an impasse. Various reports had the two sides hammering out an agreement, or a would-definitely-be agreement, at the start of free agency. No big deal. Thompson’s restricted free agency has always been considered something of a formality. He was never expected to test the market, and [...]

LeBron James’ feelings haven’t changed. He believes Tristan Thompson should remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers. That much has been clear for a while. It was assumed when LeBron first returned to Cleveland, since he and Thompson, a restricted free agent, are both represented by Rich Paul. Then it became an ironclad fact back in May, [...]

Tristan Thompson isn’t leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers. Because, you know, duh. But also because LeBron James says so. LeBron did one of those things where he answers a question or 80 on Twitter Tuesday evening. One fan was curious about the scuttlebutt surrounding Thompson, a restricted free agent, who has yet to re-sign with the [...]

If this Lakers’ season were a new movie, what would you call it? “Escape Plan?” Oh, wait D-12 already did that. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2?” Or maybe “Prisoners,” to describe the Lakers fans and perhaps Bryant, himself. As the Lakers prepare to start the 2013-2014 season without veteran 5-time NBA champion and [...]

Something’s fishy in Portland. According to Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald, LaMarcus Aldridge wants to be traded from the Portland Trail Blazers and he would like to land with the Chicago Bulls: Word is, Aldridge wants to escape from Portland’s rebuilding project and has made it known that he’d like to land in Chicago. [...]

Mike Brown returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn’t be as big a story as LaMarcus Aldridge being traded to them. No, I’m not penning just random thoughts (though I do sometimes). The Cavaliers have or had Aldridge on the brain at one point or another. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Cavaliers have fantasized [...]
