    Default Surprise! Bobcats shopping Thomas

    Legion Sports ‏@MySportsLegion
    Bobcats heavily shopping forward Tyrus Thomas, sources confirm Bobcats "are legitimately calling every team."

    this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but considering there is butt all happening at the moment thought I would post it. Also for those who don't know Legions sports have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, they are normally fairly reliable

    what the hell could they be asking for? it will probably cost at the very least a pick switch option with either the pistons or blazers pick.

    I'd be willing to hang onto him and try to make a deal around the trade deadline because right now he has ZERO value.
    Maybe by the deadline he can put together a few good games that might sucker some team into thinking he is a worthwhile player.

    Or he could suck a lot by the time the trade deadline comes and his value could decrease. So you have to be careful with that.

    short of a gilbert arenas type issue, his value can't get any lower. zig is right, if he can prove to be a marginal starter and decent backup he could be swapped for a complete bum on a shorter less expensive deal. other than that, we can forget about moving him without sending a pick.

    y'all think he will be a starter for the opening game if he's still on the team in November?

    I'm sorry but his trade value is at an all time low. Shopping him now doesn't stop us from shopping him at the trade deadline. You never know, you may find a team which has no bigs and are really struggling for shot blockers before the season starts and are willing to take him on as they think they will contend. That type of team will give up picks for players as they dont want rooks

    I think we should hold on to him unless we get a sweet deal that we can't refuse. We need all the bid bodies we can get. He and Diop together makes up one half decent player. Thomas, Williams, and the expiring contracts of Carroll and Diop should net up something at trade deadline.

    He won't be a starter, in my opinion at least. it's not that he's not gifted enough to be a starter, but I believe his style of play is better suited for the second unit.

    If his head and heart was in it it would be a no brainer, he would be starting over Mullens. Trading him now or the deadline I don't think will happen, either he plays better for us now or he's on the amnesty list next year. No one will give us much for him and would probably want a pick for taking him so I think it's us or amnesty.
