Cleveland Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson has once again found himself at the center of a Kardashian-related drama triangle.
This week Larsa Pippen did a controversial interview during which she essentially acknowledged that she now had issues with the Kardashians and that she had previously hooked up with Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian’s child.
“I was seeing him, I had him come to L.A. I brought him to a party Kim had,” she said in an interview. “I introduced him to all of them. Then a week later, or 10 days later, he started seeing Khloé. Which is fine, I don’t even care. It’s whatever. I’m the type of person that doesn’t chase what’s not for me. I will never chase a man; I will never put a leash on a man. I don’t do that. I feel like, let you be great. If you want to be with other people, go ahead. I’m great by myself.”
Thompson famously found himself in the news a while back when he was accused of cheating on Khloe with Jordyn Woods, who at the time was Kylie Kardashian’s best friend. When that entire incident unfolded, Pippen came out vocally and forcefully against Woods, noting that there were “other situations where [Jordyn and Tristan] were in the same room together and it was, like, a weird feeling.”
Woods, who was subsequently ostracized and removed from the Kardashian inner circle over her sins, never forgot Pippen’s role in the entire saga. So when Pippen’s interview came out where she essentially admitted to previously being with Thompson, Woods took to social media.
Make it make sense

Woods also ‘Liked’ tweets that backed her point of view.
So she was projecting her own guilt onto young ass Jordyn. Got it

Female drama notwithstanding, Thompson is entering an interesting offseason. He is currently an unrestricted free agent and coming off a big five-year, $82 million contract. Thus far, he has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors, but nothing definite has been presented by any of the squads involved.

Thompson obviously has close ties to Lakers star LeBron James, but he will likely follow the money. So if the Clippers are able to put together the best possible package for him, he could provide them with some nice size to counteract the Lakers’ advantage in that department.
This past season Thompson averaged 12 points and 10.1 rebounds rebounds per game. For his career, the 29-year-old has averaged 9.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per outing.
