Tyrus Thomas

[DerrickRose23]

Give Your best trade offers for the 2nd (4th) pick in last year's draft? He can bring defensive presence, guard multiple positions, is raw offensively, and has not received much consistent playing time (the 15 min per game is an abbheration he'd play 23 in one game and then 7 the next then a DNP DNP etc...)

Maybe a statue of my head.

A bust for a bust seems fair.


Seriously though, I'd trade Jack for him...Assuming he was a good guy. No more bad apples on the Blazers. He must fit with our team first attitude.

[grizzleGM]

A bust???

[grizzleGM]

Shouldn't you just call him Stromile?

[Jack wore plaid]

A bust???

It was a joke, and he's not a rookie.

[Lost Angel]

well what exactly are you looking for?

[Cruel_Ruin]

I still think Salmons for Thomas/Filler makes sense for both teams.

[Cliff Levingston]

What a worthless thread. Cliff Levingston knew he'd see "bust" and "Stromile" at least once in only a few replies.

This thread would be at it's most productive if it was locked.

Personally i dont really think that it makes that much sense at all for the bulls. Why do we need ANOTHER SF? We already have to many of them. Salmons is a 28 year old wing that cant do anything great. Atleast Tyrus Thomas is young and has potential, AND Tyrus Thomas is a big and bigs normally have more value then others. PASS. If the Bulls want to get rid of Tyrus Thomas i would want it in a trade for somewhat big time player OR just keep him and see what he becomes.

There has to be some middle ground between "bust" and "big time player"

[Blame Rasho]

Well sense you asked for our best trade offer... and isn't much considering we have next to no assets and Thomas salary so damn small.

It would be...

Along with our first rounder and Toronto's 2nd rounder this year.

You get a prospect that the Spurs are really excited about, an active and expiring big man and two picks in a deep draft.

Sorry... there isn't much you can get from the Spurs. There would be much better offers from other teams.

In my opinion perhap you should look into a trade for Scola with Houston. We traded him for nothing

[tranjSAIC]

As a Magic fan I would give up the expiring deals of Garritty and Dooling along with JJ or even the rights to Fran Vasquez.

You're really underrating Salmons here, he can play the 1/2/3 effectively, is a good slasher (he's shooting 50% from the field, which is incredible for a guard), and is a solid defender at 6'7. He was putting up something like 18/5/4 for the Kings while starting. He's only a year older than Hinrich too, which fits into the Bulls' contention window. He's also on an extremely cap friendly contract that wouldn't interfere with Gordon or Deng's extentions.

Thomas has potential, but he's not playing and developing. It seems like the Bulls like Noah better, though this is just an outsider's observation. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like Salmons is a good fit.

He is a good fit but he also is what he is; a pretty average player who's having a great season (much like Joe Smith). If the Bulls are basing their contention window around a pretty average player like Hinrich (as you hint at) then we're going no where as a franchise.

This thread is ludicrous cause most of these offers are crap and make absolutely no sense for the Bulls; a team that is obviously a long way away from the title. We'd be far better off just playing Tyrus and seeing what comes out of it.

- Best case scenario: he realizes his potential and becomes a dynamic/great NBA player in 2-3 years.
- Worst case scenario: he becomes what Stromile Swift is right now and draws pretty much the same offers that people are posting here right now.
