Surprise! Bobcats shopping Thomas

I just wanted to list some name brand guys so you would know who they are

I don't even know why anyone wasted their time making this a thread. tyrus has not been fully healthy in 2 years,he's underachieved as a player throughout his career and he's viewed as a locker room problem. He has zero on the court value to any team at his current salary. The only way he get's off this roster is if we trade him for another player with more years on his deal who we happen to like better, we trade him for a player with more years on his deal who we hate but the other team throws in a couple of 1st rounders, or we amnesty him. Other gm's are not stupid. They aren't like people who sit around in chat rooms and say "hey,that guy used to be good" or "he could still have potential,we should trade for him". Tyrus is many years into the league, is overpaid, and now has medical red flags. What he could potentially do on the court right now is irrelevant. If he happens to light it up in the first half of the season we might be able to do a decent trade, but i wouldn't hold my breath and i'm already calling him being amnestied next year. And that article on hoopsworld was stupid. It was basically some guy with nothing to write this time of year who was more or less just listing shitty contracts. We'd like to trade tyrus? No shit? Really? Hey, this just in: the sun came up this morning and rosie o'donnell is still fat are other headlines that are just as insightful! lol.

I realize it was an obvious point, hence the sarcasm in the title of the thread "surprise!". The only reason it was posted was the forum has been dead and I was hoping to try and spark some sort of discussion... 4 pages in and I have been successful. But I totally agree with your westbrook. We either give up a pick, or take back a contract with more years. The only thing that can save us if he has an up first half of the year so we can trade him at the deadline, but even then I'm sure teams are not stupid, there not going to forget about his previous 2 years

my point was that he literary had one bad season , and im pretty sure that can be corrected. besides being injured , he hasn't had any back,knee,or acl problems like alot of athletes so how is he a redflag?his injuries are minor and somthing most athletes wish they only had . i dont think that we are trying to trade tyrus because if he didn't have any value he would of been amnestied , and if he did have value we would of traded him . i think that its only right to give another chance .

no, you keep typing it wrong. he literally has never had 1 good season. there is a reason he only gets on the court for about 20-25 mins per game.

his first coach vinny del negro , there is no reason why vinny is about to get fired from the loaded clipps .chris paul took a least talented team in the hornets further than this clippers teams, vinny cant out coach other teams. larry brown is the wrong coach to start a youth movement with , because he's so set in his ways if he coached your favorite stars when they 1st came in the league, they might not have been stars. do you really think the way r.westbook erratic behavior is that he would started his 1st 2-3 years w/ brown,no! paul silas never coached last year . he had us playing streetball w/ no direction , the only coach i've ever seen let another person coach while he's present. silas put 6'8 diaw 260 by the way cant jump, rebound,run, or block at center. when diaw went to the spurs he was an complete asset . so, thats maybe why he avg 20-25 min a game

Larry brown might have been the wrong coach for this team but he was the right coach for tyrus. He's the only coach who's ever gotten shit out of that kid. He hasn't done anything to warrant his salary or even being a starter before or since. And it wasn't like he even played like an all-star that year. He showed up good in limited minutes and had a good PER. And the reason he hasn't been amnestied is not because the team thinks he still has alot of promise. It's because we haven't needed the cap room to make a signing that we couldn't otherwise make yet and cho is hoping to find a sucker to take him off our hands in the meantime. You need to stop drinking the kool-aid dude! lol.

Hey GIT still waiting for that star who played 25 mins..? Fancy answering my question or you just going to ignore it and run away

Completely going away from the debate anyone know anything more about the stomach problems he's been having? I know that it could be something minor but the thought it could be something like this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...c-illness.html makes me really scared.

Oh and Tyrus blocks shots at a ridiculous rate, quick explosive leaper, reminds me a bit of Kirilenko with the fact that he's an undersized power forward that wants to play SF. Although Andrei moves his feet a lot quicker.
