In Chicago, Tristan Thompson considers himself the missing link | NBA

Traded from Kings to Pacers in trade involving Tyrese Haliburton and Domantas Sabonis, Tristan Thompson will finally wear the Bulls jersey until the end of the season. The leaders even used their “bi-annual exception” to sign him, and the interested party will be Nikola Vucevic’s understudy to bring his experience as an NBA champion.

“Mike Brown always said to me: ‘You want to be a player that a coach can integrate into any scenario.’ When coaches design systems for you, tailor-made things for you to be successful, it’s hard. Few teams can use them. Whereas me, I created my niche in the NBA as a player that we can simply bring into play.

“He is one of those guys who has been at the service of the collective throughout their career”

The basic “role player”, not very good in attack, but who will do all the dirty work.

“I’m a guy who gives his all every night. Kind of like old school players. I do whatever it takes to win”, continues Thompson. “Whether it’s setting up screens, diving to retrieve stray balls, finishing close to the circle. I’m doing everything my team needs to win, that’s all that matters. So I think I’m going to fit in well in this group. “

Present at the press conference, Billy Donovan knows him very well since we learned that he had tried to sign him in Florida at the end of high school.

“I saw him play in high school and then obviously followed his career. I have always admired his competitive spirit and his tenacity. says the Chicago coach. “There are a lot of shadowy things he’s done in his career that have an impact on winning. His ability to speak and communicate is truly impressive. His physique around the basket, the defense, the screens. Often guys don’t get a lot of recognition and credit for these things. I think he’s one of those guys who’s served the collective for their entire career. I’ve always had a lot of respect for him.”

“When you play fair and well, basketball gives it back to you”

And then there is this experience. He arrives in a formation where some players have never experienced the playoffs. He arrives with 83 matches on the clock, several NBA finals and above all a title won in 2016.

“I wouldn’t be doing anyone a favor if I didn’t bring my experience and if I wasn’t myself” concludes the Canadian. “If you ask anyone who’s played with me or been around me, I’m a loud-talking person. I’m going to say what’s best for the team because I’ve been on title-chasing teams, I’ve won a title, I’ve played with Hall of Fame-level players, and I’ve retained things learned from them. When you play fair and well, basketball gives it back to you. It’s only fair that I share this wisdom with the younger generation, and if I can help anyone on this team improve by 1% from what I bring, then I’ll have done a great job. “
