QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ May 24, 2008 -> 12:57 AM) Tyrus was an awful offensive player this year, he shot 42.3% from the floor and his 48.7% on shots in the basket area was among the worst in the league. Even Kirk Hinrich hit 55% of his shots in the immediate basket area, and he's not exactly a great finisher either. Even on the Bulls Tyson shot around 50%, and it's not like either of them takes a lot of high difficulty attempts. Blocks are only part of defensive play, a lot of times the smart play is to just stick your arms up and make the shot more difficult while getting in better position to get the rebound. Tyrus hasn't figured that out yet. Maybe because every time Tyrus shot over 50% he got BENCHED the next day. Kind of confusing for a 20 year old. I want to see Tyrus have consistent minutes before I decide what he is.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ May 24, 2008 -> 01:45 AM) well, we will just have to agree to disagree, Im not debating the pick.. I actually wanted to keep Aldridge and was pissed initialy. I just think that Tyrus has skills/athletiscm to excell in this league and a pg like Derek Rose is going to up his game immensely. I really think if we can add Redd to this team that will be enough to make us an instant playoff team and depending on how Rose is a pretty good one. Ideally id want to lose Hinrich/Gordon for Redd and maybe a future pick.. not sure what it would take. But as long as we keep Rose, Deng, and Tyrus I think I would trade whoever. Redd would be the consistent scorer that we lacked with Gordon who was hot one night worthless next and Deng would excel in the secondary role. Tyrus and Rose together would be a lot of fun to watch. I can not wait to see what is on the horizon.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 24, 2008 -> 01:10 AM) Tyrus Thomas has yet to average 7 ppg in his 2 seasons. Chandler was pushing 10 his 2nd season in the league. Without Paul he'd average 5 a game, yet without Paul, he had 2 seasons over 8 ppg. That's more than can be said for Tyrus in his first 2 seasons. Wow, you can't be serious. You are better than this. You are seriously going to compare the 2 situations? You had to have been a fan in 02-03 to know the Bulls had NO depth and had to rely on Chandler to get minutes. Tyrus had to split time with all the other 3's and 4's (deng,Noc Gooden/smith) Tyrus played 6.5 mins less per game. The coaching staff has been brutal too. How many times have Tyrus or even Noah had really good games and then the next they are Benched? Please explain that. Tyrus never had a chance this year. You can not compare apples and oranges. I doubt Pax has given up on Tyrus. The only way he is gone is if it is in a deal that he can't refuse.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) I've got an idea. Let's delete this thread, thusly giving no recognition whatsoever to this horrible article. I also agree.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) I've seen Marriotti's pieces and I've seen Rosenbloom and Rosenbloom is by far and away worse. In fact, I think he's flat out terrible and can't think of anything worthwhile I've gained from any of his pieces. Marriotti actually does a little research for his articles and is very good getting reactions by playing his readers emotions like a puppet.
