Tyrus Thomas re-signs with Bobcats

Bobcats had to re-sign Tyrus. If they lost him and their first round pick for nothing it would be a catastrophe. A front loaded contract doesn't really matter to them this year.

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:

Who knows. Not exactly sure how everything works, but if a lockout means Thomas gets zero of that first year money, it could be a pretty genius move. Then Thomas will only make 7 mill per year, which is pretty okay.

Ah ****....even 7 mil pr isnt GREAT

Yeah! The CHA TT was less efficient and took more shots. Sweet!

Yeah, I'll take your word for it when you looked at stat sheets while I actually watched the games

Just post the Emeka pic Stun, there is no way they could understand why this was done.

It's similar in cap hit to what the Hawks gave Marvin Williams - slightly above the MLE. Not a bad deal as long as Thomas continues to play hard.

When I saw the headline 'Thomas signs with Bobcats for 40 million over 5 years' I had to open it up to make sure it was Tyrus Thomas, because I was not believing that it could be him getting that kind of cash.

A lil stunned.

5/40? Geez. Along with the deals of Gooden, Amir, Outlaw, Warrick, Frye and Milicic, I can only reach one conclusion...

It's official - Charlie Villanueva is no longer an atrocious contract! The market has become so messed up, he's just about right!

:rockon:

Thats just a disgusting deal for Tyrus, I don't understand what would make someone think he's worth that much.

Next thing we know Adam Morrison's going to get a huge contract.

IF Brian Cook can get signed, then there is hope for AMMO.

Love the signing. 5 yr 40 mil is a very reasonable contract. The first year being high doesn't matter a damn bit it is still 5/40.

Consider the other guys who have signed.

Warrick 4/18 (translates to 5/22.5)
9.6 ppg 4.1 rpg 0.7 apg 0.3 spg 0.2 bpg 20.5 mpg 28 years old

Salmons 5/39
15.4 ppg 3.3 rpg 2.8 apg 1.2 spg 0.3 bpg 34.9 mpg 31 years old

Outlaw 5/37
9.1 ppg 3.6 rpg 1.0 apg 0.5 spg 0.5 bpg 21.5 mpg 26 years old

Tyrus Thomas 5/40
9.4 ppg 6.2 rpg 1.0 apg 1.2 spg 1.6 bpg 22.6 mpg 24 years old

My point is proven...The only way you would only say something that (Please Use More Appropriate Word) is if you didn't actually watch TT play in a bobcat uniform.. you watch stat sheets, I watch the games... Tyrus is infinitely better then Boris Meow...

It should tell you something the only people that are saying that this is a bad signing are non bobcat fans... People who actually had a close eye on TT's play for the last 6 months think this is a good contract.. so fall back
