I mean anytime you can lock up a career 8 and 5 guy for 40 million, you gotta do it.

Hmm 8 mill a year is kind of high for Tyrus Thomas. He's to inconsistent. Would be better for his career to stay in Charlotte and Larry Brown however I don't think they will match it.

He signed it for Charlotte, not NJ...

OK now people should stop hating on detroit for their signings last year.

[Wolves21]

Wow it looks like the big bad new Russian owner and Jazy-Z can't get jack.They try for James,Wade,Bosh,Amare,Boozer,Lee,Thomas......ect and strike out on everyone expect the way over payed Travis Outlaw.I feel kind of bad for the Nets fans now they know the feeling of the T'Wolves fans.

Looks like NJ has no choice but to trade a 2nd rounder for rip hamilton.

lol at people actually making fun of the Nets because we missed out on Tyrus freaking thomas.

All i can say is... WOOOOOOOOOO... Thank God we didn't sign thomas, THAT would have been laughable.

[Talentfull]

I know right. If you think I'm gonna cry over Thomas for 40 mil...LOL. If we gonna be in the lottery next year then you might as well start Favors and let him develop.

The Outlaw thing was stupid, but I wouldnt fault them for waiting this one out when it comes to Amare/Boozer/Lee/Thomas. Once the new CBA is negotiated they will be able to swing for the fences and get these players at a fraction of the price they are signing for now. If you strike out on the super stars, I say wait it out till next year rather than paying David Lee what very well could be a max contract after the new CBA is signed.

At least somebody is loyal

And just like that, Tyrus Thomas gets a five-year, $40 million contract from the Bobcats, with a 17.5 percent bonus up front.

That means his first-year salary is $12 million, a chatty agent tells us.

Thank god for MJ.

They (Nets) backed out this morning – presumably – because it took this long to convince Avery Johnson that it would be a foolhardy investment:

Scola is going to get the Max. I know it. *bangs head*

[Shaheen]

GOOD. NJ is the ONLY team that is not grossly overpaying FAs right now. Don't compare the Outlaw deal to anything thats goin on now. 12 million for the first year? Is this for real?

Imagine what we would look like sitting with Amare and Boozer for 5 years when their creeping up on 30.

And the winner of the worst contract of the summer award goes to ... Tyrus Thomas! Congrats Ty! Here's a shiny red ball to play with
