Another unsigned Boston Celtics alumnus might find himself a home playing with the Brooklyn Nets as that team looks to add frontcourt depth after star forward Kevin Durant rescinded his trade request earlier this week according to new reporting from HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
That would be ex-Boston big man Tristan Thompson, who played a total of 54 games for the Celtics before he would be dealt to the Sacramento Kings as part of the deal bringing back reserve guard Kris Dunn, and backup big man Bruno Fernando in 2021 The Canadian center has since played stints with the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls but has remained unsigned after his contract with the Bulls expired at the end of the 2021-22 season.
With little in the way of proven depth in the frontcourt beyond Nick Claxton and Ben Simmons, bringing on sturdier bigs able to hold their own with some of the larger bodies in the NBA would make sense for Brooklyn moving forward.
