Tristan Thompson is taking his talents from Ohio to Boston.

On Saturday, Thompson's agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, confirmed to Yahoo Sports that the 29-year-old NBA star signed a deal to play with the Boston Celtics after playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers for nine seasons. According to the outlet, the $19 million deal locks the center and power forward player in with the team for two years.
