The way Diaw has been playing there hasn't been a need to play Thomas heavy minutes, but, I think Thomas is worthy of 35 plus mins or more and think that Diaw and some pieces could get us a legitimate starting center, which in turn could give Thomas more mins at PF.
give him 35+ minutes and you will witness the most retarded things you've ever seen on a basketball court. No thanks. Keep him as a 6th man for 25minutes per game.
He needs more minutes, true. But he also needs to do his part and stop picking up the dumbest of fouls the moment he touches the court...
this is accurateQuote:

They need to keep giving Diaw big minutes to shop him for the trade that is inevitably coming. I suppose the idea is that Diaw will ultimately bring more in return if he is playing 35 minutes a game and putting up decent numbers than if he is a 6th man. By the end of the season TT will be getting all the minutes he wants. Let's hope he continues to grow up and play well.
Yeah, I know he's a fan favorite at the TWC and here and elsewhere, but I'm not sold on the dude. He plays hard; I'll give him that. But he's just so out of control that I'm almost terrified when he has the ball in his hands....and then there's the fact he is mentally unstable. Also, he's way too soft in the post both offensively and defensively. He must have some phobia with having his back to the basket with the ball in his hands. The writer talks of Boris being doughy (and he is) but he uses the dough in the post, and uses it to defend guys much taller than him whereas Tyrus gives up position to bigger guys.Quote:

You dont pay your bench players 8+ million a year... just saying. Between our two power forwards we are paying around 16+ Mil. for about 20 ppg and maybe 10 boards. Doesnt sound like good business sense to me.
Tyrus was getting clowned by Philly of all teams.
Diaw is the better player by far right now, but because of how the season is going I'd go ahead and start him now. The team is absolutely terrible right now and I don't think they can get worse...
