I've called this press conference today to announce my client, Tristan Thompson, has made a decision on where to play next season.
The terms of the contract are:
Year 1: $5,000,000 Year 2: $5,550,000 (PO) Year 3: $6,160,500 (PO) Year 4: $6,838,155 (PO) Year 5: $7,590,352 (PO)
Total: $31,139,007
Tristan will take his talents West to play with the...
SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Tristan was one of the most highly coveted young players I represented this off season. Several good teams, including a couple of playoff teams, made tremendous offers. Promises of exotic sports cars and lavish homes were on the table. Tristan's decision was not an easy one, however in the end he felt SA was the best place to take his talents where he'd get plenty of playing time and contribute to the team. He was promised a starting position and Mr. Wiles offered him player options in future years if Tristan decided SA wasn't the place for him.
Tristan also wanted to convey his thanks to each and every team that sent offers. All the owners were fantastic and treated him as part of their teams.

Wow player options in 4 of the 5 years! Yeah that's what happens when no FA wants to sign, but we have goals and if he goes at a later time it's by choice but not because of our rebuild. We are very excited to have Tristan as part of our rebuild.

Can't believe I forgot to re-sign him - I copied someone else who just made one free agency post with the declaration of resigning all players up for re-signing but then I forgot to make a post specifically for Tristan. I just traded for him...

Yea that sucks...you just needed to say "we pick up his option" didn't you? He should still have option years left right? He's only been in the league a couple years.

Yeah I guess I really screwed up... He was one of the cornerstones of my rebuilding effort too...
