    According to many Bulls boards, Ric Bucher said today on Fastbreak that Spurs were interested in getting Tyrus Thomas.

    Discuss.

    All those guys are untouchable because John Paxson is a dumb ass GM. He wouldnt deal average players like Deng/Gordon for players like Kobe/KG/Gasol so I would be shocked if he took anything the Spurs had.

    Can't see how he's going to help this year.

    And as for the future, I suppose he's a possible long 3 defensively, but on offense he's strictly a 4. With Mahnmi and Splitter coming it, I don't see how he fits or gets minutes. Even if the Spurs get rid of both Elson AND Oberto.

    As always, in any thread suggesting a trade, in which the thread le ends with a "?," the "?" means "this is all speculative BS that somebody made up out of whole cloth."

    Even if that somebody is Ric Bucher.

    Isn't he pretty much a young Francisco Elson?

    Key word here is YOUNG!

    Meaning with a positive enviroment and good coaching, it's still possible to develope him into a good player. Unlike Elson, he hasn't been tainted by poor coaching and a horrible enviroment.

    However, I'm not sure we really need him. Maybe? Depends. If we just gotta give up Elson and a pick I'm cool with that. I don't know too much about Thomas so I really can't comment.

    EDIT: By the way...Since this is all over the boards...Can we get a link?

    Except he doesn't have the defensive IQ of a melon.
    And as for Tyrus, sure why not. He could turn into a great player for us.

    He's very athletic. He is 6'8'' and at LSU he was a good defender, I don't want to say he is a good defender in the NBA because I honestly haven't even seen him play that much to know. He can probably rebound and get some nice put backs. I have seen him throw down some nasty dunks. Judging by his field goal percentage, his offensive game needs some work.

    The "?" is put by me not by Ric Bucher.
    Both of us have no clue if there are some truth or not behind this rumor.

    Some trade scenarios the Bulls fans at RealGM are looking at:

    Bulls Receive: Brent Barry, Michael Finley, Robert Horry, Francisco Elson, Tiago Splitter.

    Spurs Receive: Ben Wallace, Tyrus Thomas.
    I'd think about Noc and Tyrus for Ginobili and the Spurs 1st

    I dont know... but I'd like the idea of tyrus floating around in the paint and being a help blocker behind tim and fab or any other big whenever some one tries to post.

    he actually said the Spurs want to get more athletic and they've had internal discussions regarding acquiring J.R. Smith or Tyrus Thomas.

    He had a good game against the Spurs once, so of course we are interested.

    I have a felling nothing is going to happen. This time of year is when the "trade" rumors run like crazy!
