Tristan Thompson was a key member of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ title-contending teams with LeBron James and now finds himself as a free agent with the possibility of joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
There has not been too big of a connection between Tristan Thompson and the Lakers but LeBron helped add some speculation. James tweeted about having a drink with Thompson and NBA Twitter, being what it is, started to churn.
On paper, it makes sense to draw a correlation. Thompson is a noted teammate of LeBron James, is a free agent with lesser value than he once had and the Lakers could need a center if Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins do not re-join the team.
