Tristan…oh man…Khloe will be happy about it
Would’ve preferred a different center lol
So we signed Harrison and TT and waived Reed
Tristan Thompson really?
Gross….
I WANT DAVON BACK
Davon taco goat reed 😢
Gonna miss seeing Davon cheerlead his ass off on the bench. Can’t believe Tristan Thompson managed to grab a roster spot lol. Guess all that glazing worked out
Idk how to feel

SUCKS TO BE DAVON MAN. DUDE SEEMED LIKE A NICE GUY
Uuuuhhhhh…..
Tristan Thompson gonna take the 2020 JR Smith role, the dude everyone forgot was technically on the team but still ends up a Laker champion
Welcome back Shaq
laker legend davon reed
Not davon 🙁 lowkey looked like a decent backup pg. glad we got a backup big that does the dirty work
Davon was our garbage time MVP
Crazy that Tristan is only 32
LAKERS SIGNED UNANIMOUS FIRST BALLOT CITY BOY HALL OF FAMER TRISTAN THOMPSON.
HIDE YOUR GIRLS, HES COMING!
Man doesn’t this front office realize our biggest weakness is our size? So they sign someone with the same size & skill set as Wenyen with a slight upgrade to rebounding? We needed a 6’11-7 ft guy who doesn’t get pushed around on defense. I don’t see how these signings address our issues.
Wtf Tristan a month ago would of been great.
Gonna miss Davon and his cheerleading antics. He was always hyping up Reaves after his and-1’s
Not what I was expecting, but the Lakers brought in gummy goat Dion Waiters, and the Henny god JR and won a chip. I won’t put anything past them
I’m guessing Tristan is here for vet purposes and chip experience. We only had LeBron and AD for that before.
Fuck yeah, get TT another ring
Well, if it would have been Tristan at the end, why did we wait so much until now ? Tristan’s name is in the air for a while now, and we could have even signed him back then when we had to play without any real center against the rockets and lost like idiots. I just don’t understand all this waiting period while everybody just wanted Bamba back desperately so we finally have a back-up center and at the end of the day we sign Tristan anyways.

Gonna miss this guy
Someone hide the Laker girls
If we need to use either of these players we’re fucked. This is barely news. Y’all tripping hard over nothing. We have a solid 8-10 man rotation and we gotta hope for health. We have a good team, now lets beat the Jazz and finish off the regular season.
We really had Shaq and Bryant this season we are a superteam
TT is 6’9 250, hes may not be a 6’11 – 7ft guy that we ask for but he certainly can guard traditional bigs bettet than wenyen / vando
NOT LOCKER ROOM HYPE MAN DAVON WHYYYY
Kinda useless on the FO part to do it this late into the season could’ve helped even a slight if this was done a month ago but oh well. Davon Reed was solid chemistry & Jared Dudley role. Hoping TT can atleast be somewhat viable but won’t bet that at all
**DEVON REED WAS A GOOD FUCKING GUY**
I am whelmed
