According to Yahoo Sports reporter Chris Haynes, Tristan Thompson’s agent Rich Paul revealed that TT has reached an agreement with the Boston Celtics and he will formally use a two-year contract worth 19 million. Join the Green Army.
In the summer of 2015, Thompson and the Cavaliers reached a five-year 82 million contract extension, because his data is 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, so he is called the "eight wise kings." Thompson, 29, played for the Cavaliers last season, averaging 12 points per game, which is his career high. In addition, TT also contributed 10.1 rebounds and 51.2% shooting percentage.
As a blue-collar insider, Thompson's performance is remarkable, so when he became a free agent, the Lakers including former teammate LeBron James and the Clippers led by former coach Tyron Lue expressed strong expressions to him. Interested, the Cavaliers were unwilling to let him go, but their offer did not satisfy TT.
Yesterday the Lakers signed Harrell for 2 years 19 million, which means they have given up fighting for Thompson. Just when everyone thought he would go to the Clippers to follow Tyronn Lue and fill the vacancy after Harrell left. Another sham shot, choosing to join the Celtics, is really surprising.
For the Celtics, the joining of TT is undoubtedly a major benefit. Their biggest weakness last season was the interior, and TT has a good pie and defensive ability, and his offensive rebounds also meet the needs of the team. For TT, signing the Green Army is also an opportunity to hit the championship again and prove himself.
