Right now it's 13 Thomas votes, 1 Haslem.

Thomas has improved every year & has not reached his ceiling. He'll be 23 in August.

The Bulls really do not want to trade him, but would do it for a talent like Boozer. If Boozer deal falls through, Bulls will gladly keep him as their PF

He's not an offensive force but his defense is needed. He's very similar to Noah & the Bulls dont need both. Noah can play Center. Tyrus has filled in at Center but is too short to play it regularly.

Sinxe I'm a Bulls fan, I'm not trying to sell Tyrus - just explaining. The Haslem vote is from a Heat fan

Haslem is a backup playing a starter in Miami

Last season, he averaged 10.6 PPG - 8.2 RPG in 34.1 MPG

In the 2nd half, Tyrus averaged close to 14 PPG - 8 RPG in 30 MPG, and finished the season with 10.8 PPG - 6.4 RPG in 27.5 MPG.

Haslem is not even better now, and Tyrus is just now improving. If Tyrus can fulfill his career, he could be a Josh Smith type player with less offense but more defense.

Definitely Thomas. Like some guy from Florida said "Haslim has the state of Florida tatooed on his back". He will play for the Jazz this season and next year he will sign with the Heat. Thomas has a lot more potential and he is a better value to the team this coming year. Didn't Thomas say he would like to play basketball with DWill? I think I heard this but not sure where.

Right now I like a Boozer and Miles for Hinrich and Thomas trade then the jazz trade Hinrich for a 2010 first rounder to portland. Thomas is the guy the jazz need to protect the basket and improve the jazz defence.The jazz save about 9 million in cap space and would be about 5 million over luxury tax. Maybe a Harping buyout gets jazz under the luxury tax. Thomas also said that he would love to play with Williams.

I don't think anything the Jazz could or would do with Harpring will get his numbers off of their books to get them under the luxury tax. I can't see Chicago giving up TT and Hinrich in a deal probably just one or the other.
