Tyrus Thomas is growing.

Bonnell Tweets:
Just spoke with Tyrus Thomas' agent: Tyrus training in Texas and he has gained 20 much-needed pounds to 240. A good sign.

If he's strong and gets his mind right, he could still be a nice player.

Wouldn't mind seeing him go in a trade tonight, but he might be worth looking at one more season.

Did he get a Labotamy as well?

if we can get a decent draft pick for him i think we should take the offer

[bes628]

Hope he's not on that Diop workout plan.

Unquestionably. But I think the conversations now are decreasing our assets (trading down, giving up a pick or player) to unload him.

Ha! Somebody responded to Bonnell with the same comment.

It was me...I think.

[dnbman]

Looks like it! Well played.

[Felton for Prez]

Coincidental that news of him gaining 20lbs just happens to come out the day after his name showing up all over the rumor mill? Me thinks not.

Not coincidental, but not intentional either. Bonnell talked to his agent. Could be Rick trying to get information about movement and offered the idea. In the timeline of a season, it's a pretty natural event to happen, though, clearly, his agent is making Tyrus seem more attractive. That's his job.

[ND22]

Can we take a million dollars off his contract for each pound he's gained?

[Plowright]

great! Thats such good news!!!............. Now trade his ass right now.

Cho should also send him a copy of "Power Forward for Dummies"...and for good measure, Hooked on Phonics

Not his emotional state.

Thanks = glad you're back!

[Proudiddy]

Who cares. He sucks. We've seen him in shape, our of shape, engaged, unengaged, etc. He's unstable and at best an athletic but unskilled 4. Amnesty. Goodbye.

i was so hoping the rest of the thread title was "a benign tumor on his knee that will force him to medically retire immediately"

As I posted in the Dunlap thread, I really think a good teacher might help him a lot. He has to understand why and how to do something, not just someone who yells at him for messing up.

Don't get me wrong: Thomas is a big boy and should man up. He's got some things he needs to handle. However, the last couple of coaches were probably not good fits for Tyrus. Dunlap is probably used to working with more fragile egos than anyone we've had.

[heelcat]

If we cannot get something for him, I say take one last look at him under Dunlap. He has the makeup to make a decent impact. He just has to take care of the frontrunner mentality and learn how to be a team player. Not sure if it's too late for him or not. Guess the front office will make that decision.

Happy to be back! Fresh biscuits for everyone!

Sup amour!

All we need now is the badass Oak back to help with our big men.

[westbrook08]

Man, i laugh my ass off every time i think of the vincent wheel of fortune pic.I was thinking just now though,that we should start a petition and a facebook page,for bojangles to team up with twc arena and give out coupons to fans for a free ham biscuit every time the bobcats score 100 points this year.That would be awesome! lol.

[Fred Williamson]

I hope his trade value is going to grow as well. we need to get rid of him ASAP

[westbrook08]

There's no chance we move him unless we are willing to get robbed in this draft!
