I think we should bring back Tristan Thompson on a vet minimum. Anybody else?
Tristan Thompson said he’d love to be back next year, in whatever role is required: “I’m all about winning. I’m two feet in for whatever the team needs. I love it here.”

I like him at an end of the bench role. But, we need a legit backup center. Maybe even a starter lol
Bring him back
Bring him back!!
Honestly he’s vet who does the dirty work. He could teach some of the young guys. I wouldn’t mind him back
For a vet min as a third string center and vet presence, absolutely
Love to see it.
Yeah I’d bring him back. His role kinda reminds me of Jared Dudley and he can still play spot minutes.
You need legit vets on your team if you want to compete. Im a huge believer in that. Tristan brought awesome energy to the bench during the postseason and I’d rather bring him back than go into the season short handed in the frontcourt.
He had me at “ I Love it Here”
Yessir
Either Jokic and Murray were pretending to be stuffed by him defensively in a close game for whatever reason
Or Tristan Thompson still has got some gas left in the tank.
To be locker room guy. Yes he should come back
Tristan is only 32. The should sign him for the vet presence but he can contribute as well in the regular season
We need him
I mean he wasn’t bad when he played last night
In the “Dudley” role sure why not? We let LeBron have a buddy too
Sure as vet min, why not
They should bring him back for sure. Sparkplug back up to punish oppositions bench.

Bro played his heart out, he could be useful for sure
He was miles ahead anything that Wenyan brought to the table.
Perfect screens, hustle, and he finished around the basket surprisingly well.
I’m not a superstitious person per se, but I have to admit when I first found out they signed him I thought to myself, “If the Lakers lose, I’m blaming the Kardashian curse!”
That said…3rd string center, no better options available, minimum contract…eh…could be worse.
I’d take both him and Gabriel back for the minimum
TT bring him back
Dude still has gas in the tank for those needed moments, seems like a cool guy too, for a vet min you I’ll happily include him
Love it. I think TT can definitely benefit Mo Bamba if Bamba has that fire in him to get fit, and get better. TT showed that he is willing to put in the work a LOT yesterday. Take him on Vet minimum.
If he was in Game 2 foward, Lakers might havve sustain a 2-2 standing. Instead we got Walker or DLo together with Schroder or Reaves on court. Keep him
Ngl he looked kinda good last night. Wish we gave him a try game 1
He was up cheerleading all playoff. He brings energy on the court. Plays well with Bron. Worth a vet min, 15th man slot for him. Could do MUCH worse.
This what you supposed to say at your new job you’re probably not qualified to have lol
Of course he loves being a Laker. Dude was swimming in thots when he was in Cleveland. I can only imagine the damage he’s doing now.
