Tristan Thompson to Boston: 2 years, $19M, player option to re-up with Khloé Kardashian
- Thread starter mcpickl
- Start date
My guess is that this basically replaces Kanter and his salary. If that’s the case, then I think this is a great deal.
You could have offered Harrell twice that and he still wouldn't've heard a peep about it.
I don't see the appeal of Harrison. Why not get Iwundu, who is better.
It wasn't an option for 2 reasons...
1. he signed before we knew we had the full MLE to use
2. He signed with the defending champions, we were likely never on the list.
This is where I’m at too. Harrison seems like the best possible get at this point. If they can land him that’s a very solid team with the potential to get better. Especially if they can somehow get a TPE for Hayward
Career high in points last season, close to a career high in rebounds, career high in assists. Doesn't looked to have slowed down at least on paper. I thought he was more on the downturn.
12.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists.
Looked like he started to add a 3 too.

I'll never forget the security video of four strippers climbing over him like a jungle gym while he just sort of sat there and chilled.
He also brings a certain attitude and edge onto the court with him that has been missing since mook left. Hopefully, he'll be able to harness that energy for good and build some chemistry with the young guys.
Doesn't improve the team much. People excited about this don't understand how the game is played right now. In the end, its a whatever signing.
I’d be pretty surprised. Theis has built up some nice chemistry and I think he’ll take another stride forward with another year in the US under his belt.
Heh...in
prior to that he was 3-18 in 610 games.
LOL. Ok, please be sure to teach Ainge when you get a free moment.
If this team is expecting Tristan Thompson to be a floor spacer, Ainge is even worse than his biggest critics contend. Dude is the hoops equivalent of a hex key.
yeah, I meant February 9th til end of March. my bad. Last 9 games of the year.
They clearly aren’t and you know that. He’s coming in for a completely different role.
If the job description is “defend both Embiid and Bam” I guess he’s about the best available for that job.
Otherwise, nice rebounder but seems pricey for what he is. Though, I like that he’s a veteran who has won in the playoffs—-they were missing that guy. I don’t know whether he’s a leader or not, but in theory that could be a benefit

He is excited about it? Did he share with you? I wasn't talking about Ainge. I am referring to all the folks who keep clamoring for more bigs. You just don't need that many expensive players in those roles. Few are worth what they get paid in a hoops sense.
Its fine. It soaks up minutes and gives Stevens another option for a big.
