2024 NBA Season

I don’t know if this passes for news or not (probably not) but Tristan Thompson is reportedly going to sign a 1-year contract to retire with the Cavaliers. I think that’s probably the only team that would sign him and I doubt he’ll get much playing time. He fell off pretty hard after jumping head first into the Kardasian curse.

These Kardashians, they know how to bring a man down. Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, Tristan Thompson, Ben Simmons, ... . Only Blake Griffin and Devin Booker somehow survived them without too much shade on their careers. 

Seems like the Cavs just give him a pitty contract so he can officially get a "farewell" tour from the Cavs fans. I don't see him having a lot of veteran leadership to be honest.

He was even called overrated when he signed a good contract after the success with LeBron. When Lebron left the team, his teammates aren't playing as well as they used to. It was a good decision by the Cavaliers to move on, as they are improving now and should focus on their young players, potentially forming a championship team. Speaking of players linked to the Kardashians, I think James Harden was not added on the list because his production did decline when he got involved with one of them.

Probably he will do like a Udonis Haslem with the Cavs, he is just there sitting but his presence is enough for the team and the management. And he was lucky that the Cavs sign him for a one year. I'm also thinking that maybe after he retire, he might be given a job in the front office.

That's likely his going to be role for the team with this season.

Unlike Haslem, he's been there for the team with his entire career CMIIW. Whilst Tristan went to other teams as well and traded there but it is for sure that there's this vibe on him.

Cavs value his leadership and they provably think that he will be a good mentor to their young centers. He can use his experience to guide their young players and I think this is what Cavs want from him.

Right now his position is to be their third center so most provably he will seat a lot on bench and expect a same like Haslem situation. But who knows maybe he can perform well and get more minutes since Cavs management already knows him well. But any other than that its good to see Thompson to be back on the team who draft him and end up his career there. Maybe this situation could open up a door and he can work with Cavs management after he retire since there's huge possibilities that it will happen, although this is just a speculation only.

Well, "pitty" contract is way too harsh if you will ask me, but can't blame you if that's what you describe it.

On the flip side, this veteran minimum contract that they gave to him is just enough because like what you said, you can't see any leadership on him, but what I can see with him is his good rebounding skills, and even though he's a traditional center that can't shoot threes, he can just give your team at least 5 RPG if given the time. Whatever it is though, I will remember him as the player who has this weird face when his free throw is an airball back when he's in Chicago.

Yeah, and it Cavs is willing to take him in again, then no doubt he will retire as a Cavs and who knows, they could offer him a job.

And for sure he had build up a good relationship from the front office as well, although he might have played with other teams, going back to the Cavs he could be that loud mouth and be a mentor on some of their players.

If he is given time to play, then he will be their backup center.
