Out of no where: Sasha for Tyrus / Bynum shopped?!?!
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2010 2:29 pm
According to Mark Miller of Yahoo Sports, the Chicago Bulls are looking to move Tyrus Thomas in exchange for Sasha Vujacic of the Los Angeles Lakers. Thomas is a bit of a hothead and is wearing thin on the Bulls team. Sasha is a young player who has developed his game to more than just a stand up jump shot. Sasha is looking for a place to showcase his skills other than the shadow of Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest.
This is a surprising move to hear of form the Lakers who were reported to be shopping Andrew Bynum. Bynum has been struggling with injuries each year into his career. He has missed a lot of games this year and has been underperforming. Especially on defense he has lagged behind the rest of the league. He is a young player with some upside and I expect a team like the Golden State Warriors would like to see a new star emerge in the Bay Area. I expect to see a deal for Center Andris Biedrins. This would be a welcome back-up center for the Lakers to add toughness to the team. The Warriors have not been contenders in recent years.

I'd post this in the Hinrich thread, but this rumor doesn't include him. Looks like those are separate sources about Sasha and Bynum. Biedrins has his share of injuries and missed games.
This is hard to believe and I call fake.
