The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly set their sights on free agent centers Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley, with plans to hold workouts with both players this week. Sources close to the situation revealed this information to NBA insiders on social media.
Tristan Thompson is a well-known name in the basketball world, having played in the NBA for 11 seasons. He was a key player on the Cleveland Cavaliers team that won the championship in 2016 alongside none other than LeBron James, who is currently playing for the Lakers. Thompson is a power forward/center who has played for the Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and most recently, the Sacramento Kings. During his career, he has averaged 9.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game.
Tony Bradley, on the other hand, is a younger player with less experience than Thompson. He was drafted 28th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2017 NBA Draft and has played for the Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, and Oklahoma City Thunder. Bradley is a center who has shown potential during his time in the league, but he has yet to establish himself as a consistent player. His career averages are 4.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks per game.
It remains to be seen whether the Lakers will ultimately sign either player, but the fact that they are working out both Thompson and Bradley suggests that they are exploring their options and looking to bolster their frontcourt depth. With the playoffs approaching, the Lakers will need all the help they can get to make a deep run.
