Tristans from Toronto and he's a proven rebounder which the Raptors desperately need... Of course he's also a party cheating playboy and his boo and her family are all based in LA... I don't really see him coming to Boston if he chooses a cold climate it'll be Toronto, if not most likely LA.This is all under the circumstance of him being bought out of course.
Klutch Sports will not break its tradition and accept a Thompson buyout (no Klutch player has ever accepted a buy out). The Cavs could obviously just waive him, but they really don't get any benefit in just straight up waiving him as they don't save money and lose the ability to sign and trade him in the offseason (which has some level of value). So if he is not traded today, he will almost certainly finish the season in Cleveland.

He's a bit more athletic, obviously, but if Theis can't hang with Embiid because of his size then neither can Thompson.Thompson is a lot stronger than Theis. Here is their head to head in their careers. Thompson actually holds his own and does ok against Embiid, even in the 2 games this year.https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&player_id1_hint=Joel+Embiid&player_id1_select=Joel+Embiid&player_id1=embiijo01&idx=players&player_id2_hint=Tristan+Thompson&player_id2_select=Tristan+Thompson&player_id2=thomptr01&idx=playersMaybe. In three games this year against Theis, Embiid is averaging 21 and 10 on 39% shooting.Are you including the game that Theis played 10 minutes while Embiid was at 23 or the game where Theis played 24 and Embiid was at 36. The game on the weekend, Embiid was awful, though I recall a lot times when Theis wasn't in the game while Embiid was or when someone like Semi was guarding Embiid.Thompson generally guards Embiid and generally plays when Embiid does. that isn't the case with Theis.You didn't seem to have any problem including a game where Embiid played 34 minutes and Thompson had just 21.Pot meet kettle.I posted a link to their entire history, I didn't mention any games other than the 2 this year, which they played similar minutes in. I did that for a reason because as you say, there is some imbalance in minutes in prior seasons. The 3 games this year between Theis and Embiid the minutes aren't close at all. I mean if you are going to criticize at least correctly criticize.Oh I correctly criticized, you're just spinning it, as always.

Cavs acquiring Drummond probably changes the thinking on the buyout (assuming he isn't moved in some deal still being worked on).

Especially after he asked to be traded...Bird rights. Virtually no one has cap space this summer — if Thompson wants to get something more than the MLE, he’ll need it to happen via sign-and-trade. This would also allow the Cavs to get something for him.
