When Tristan Thompson retires, should the Cavs retire his jersey?

Once LeBron James retires from the league, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not hesitate to retire his jersey. In fact, they might even do that the year immediately following his retirement. So that’s a for sure thing that will no doubt happen. But what about another key member of that 2016 championship Cavs squad? I’m not talking about Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love; instead, I’m talking about Tristan Thompson.

This is a very interesting question and it feels like a topic where a compelling argument could be made either way.
