Trade: Bobcats acquire Tyrus Thomas

[garnett_21]

The Bobcats are close to landing Tyrus Thomas in a deal with the Bulls that would send expiring contracts and a future protected (according to Ric Bucher) first round pick to Chicago, a person with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com.

A source told Yahoo! that a deal between the Bulls and Knicks for Thomas is now considered a longshot.

Update: Yahoo! reports that Acie Law and Flip Murray will be the two players sent to Chicago for Thomas if this deal is finalized.

Update No. 2: Yahoo! reports that this deal has now been formally agreed upon.

Good deal for the 'Cats...they get another big and get rid of two of their backup to the backup to the backup point guards.

I was hoping the Spurs would land Thomas. This is a good deal for the Bobcats, i think Brown can help develop Thomas.

Bobcats are a dangerous team....they have so much athleticism it's scary.

Tyrus Thomas is athletic, but he's too inconsistent imo.

Looks like the bobcats got a good deal in this trade.

I liked Tyrus :/
Now the Bulls have made trades for 4 players that have expiring contracts this summer (correct me if I'm wrong)

Bulls can now easily give a max contract to a superstar come this summer

It looks like that would be an option if a decent one is available.

It appears that the Bulls also received a future first-round pick in the deal.

He was traded, too? Geez, there have been so many freaking trades in the last 24 hours that I think I'm gonna have to write some of this crap down, lol.

I know what you mean.


I'm glad to see some of those guards get traded from the Bobcats. Those Sean May and Adam Morrison picks are still haunting me too.
