Bobcats Acquire Tyrus Thomas

I simply love the idea of Michael Jordan trying to get through to Tyrus (assuming, of course, that MJ even knows this trade is going down): “The Bobcats, determined to add an athletic big man to their front court, have agreed to acquire Tyrus Thomas in a deal with the Bulls that would send Acie Law, Flip Murray, and a future No. 1 pick to Chicago, a person with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com. Charlotte beat out several other suitors — New York, Denver, and San Antonio chief among them — and will have the rest of the season to evaluate the soon-to-be restricted free agent and decide whether to commit to Thomas long-term. Trading Thomas spares the Bulls the embarrassment of losing one of their best players through free agency with no compensation for the second year in a row.”

    AllenP. That’s my point. He has made some good ones but we need GM’s to make bad ones too or else there wouldn’t be any “salary dummping moves” in the L. A lot of teams benefit from bad contracts eventhough it sounds weird.

    Tavoris – i heard. That actually would have been a good trade. But we are now gonna get Mike James to take Flip’s old spot.

    FYI to everyone else on here; Rod Higgins is our GM, not MJ.

    Cats got Theo Ratliff too. Me thinks they are gearing for a playoff run.

    The Chicago trade is good Tyrus is not playing to the level of Taj Gibson and it gives the other rookie James Johnson a bit extra court time plus Flip is a good scorer which the Bulls need

    @tommy-I think knowledge of the game SHOULD BE tantamount to a player fulfilling their potential. However, we’d be lying to ourselves if we believed in that fantasy.
