What letter grade would you give the signing of Tristan Thompson?
B Grade , Davis needs rest & help on rebounds . Damn everybody wants to be a LAKER Lately 😂😂
Good chemistry with Bron, alternate to AD during rest, a fit for the 2nd unit with Rui, Dennis, Troy, and Wenyen. 🏀👍🏻🏆
Thompson is a Klutch client
I would have preferred serge ibaka..
are the Lakers forgetting about the Kardashian effect?? Devin Booker got rid of Kendall for this simple reason. Suns lost in the finals two years ago and didn't even make WCF last year. Guess what? Suns will now win NBA finals because Devin got rid of a Kardashian. Sadly, this year's Lakers run with the addition of key pieces before and just at the trade deadline is now all but been written off with Tristan's addition.
jaVale proved himself once again. idky people domt talk about how effective he is on both ends. 🥲
he called out chalmers for dissing bron and bron got him a spot on the roster just like he said chalmers asked.
It’ll work, tough 250 lbs power forward/ center. Give some hard fouls and give AD rest minuets. Good signing for the playoffs
Thompson Davis LeKing 👑 Russell Reaves for the new lineup
So basically, A stronger but slower Wenyen, with less of a motor.
I guess the duplication isn’t a bad thing but other than that I don’t get it.
Next year they gonna sign richard jefferson
Nah……
He plays hard
Busog na Naman to kay lebron alam na galawan bawat isat isa
A liability imo … aslong he plays as a reserve if either bamba or Davis is injured it’s all good. Man can only sit in the dunkers spot at this point in his career. The lakers had younger options who could do the same if not better
Mo Bama needs a kick in the butt he's to tall to be shooting as many 3's
Not the best pick in terms of height, but very physical and has played with Bron …
When he was at his prime, the other team just prayed they get the ball back.
Tristan Thompson will bring toughness inside and rebounding prowess plus playoff to finals experience as he did back in 2016 Cavs championship with Bron. Imagine having Tristan and Vando or AD or even Mamba twin tower on the court this is what look like really tough frontcourt
They should have considered Howard or cousins 😅🏀💪
He got the job because he's Lebron's buddy
I think overall it was a good signing,
Only if he beat out some 7 footers they’ve worked out. I seriously doubt that and thats a problem.
Much needed insurance! Plus T.T. has playoff experience. GO LAKERS 🏀
I liked the pick let go Lakers
The only thing that can for sure give lebron a chance at winning ring number 5 is everybody must score the ball…it can't be restricted to 4 5 guys when other teams have 8 9 guys who can't wait to score the ball…Beasley gotta start makin more shots then he miss or give Lonnie them minutes…and lebron has to actually play some defense even it's half ass defense..he gotta get Infront of somebody and not jus stand down under the rim not even boxin out….you wanna be on the floor competing for a ring play like it and don't use the excuses…
Dont let him shoot lol…
Stanley Johnson?
Finally… another big body to help take the pressure off AD 👍🏾
Let's be honest, Thompson wasn't the most talented big on the market, so if just looking at that one dimension aspect his grade may be lower. However he's a glue guy and is familiar with Bron, his presence will be good for this young Lakers squad of kids both in the lockerroom and on the bench etc. He reminds me of how JaVale McGee was a few seasons back when L.A won the chip in The Bubble. Both McGee and Howard although not the most talented were instrumental in both the regular and the post seasons respectively on a Lakers squad that hasn't seen that kind of bond and chemistry since they traded away that team.
If Lakers management can somehow keep this roster intact for the most part during the off season then Tristan Thomas may be exactly what and who they need to help keep the team together on the bench and in the lockerroom while still offering a defensive presence when called upon.
Chemistry with the GOAT and consistency in the center position as a bully. Good pick up
Should have picked up cousins to put another big body on Steven Adams😢😢 good luck on that one!!!
Nah mo bamba needs them minutes put tristan in there with mo bamba but give mo bamba his minutes tristan Thompson another damn power forward with a 7’1 wingspan compared to mo bamba 7’10, if anything cut wenyen mo still needs them minutes after AD
Last time bron picked up one of his homies/old teammates before the playoffs, Lakers won the chip.
You know for a team to constantly have to have players drafted and traded just to make it to the playoffs or even Win games it must show how really trash you are There is no greatness on that team Just play like everybody else
Tristan can guard 1-5 in spurts and him and Vanderbilt are high motor on defense and only 32.
Should have get Cousins
I thought he's retired?
KUKUHA lng ng center BANO n hindi p 7 footer😂
Tristan Thomson is a nice piece to Beef up in the paint. He brings a bit more bulk then the two Centers who backup Anthony Davis. Tristan can provide more seasoned experience with playing along side Labron during his Cleveland Championship run and also assist in the locker room with the younger teammates. #lakerfanb4logowaslogo💜💛#lakerfan4ever💜💛#lakeshow💜💛
smh no comment
Too small for a center almost all center 7-7.2 ft.
B
Fill in for Mo Bamba role!
Nah
Last time he played nba basketball he averaged 4.5 rebounds a game you have guards doing that now far from a rebounding "MACHINE" He needs to do more
Can't play but gets paid LeBron so nice
T top sucks idk what u on ? Crack ??😮😮
The rebounding machine that average 5 boards in Chicago….lol fail
