Bulls forward Thomas has surgery

We don't need this guy. Tyrus Thomas is one of the biggest lies in the nba.

Some guys say he needs time and coaching, wake up.....this is CHICAGO, there's no time for Baby boys to become Men.

See Rose, Jennings, Durant....guys with no experience already making a huge impact.

If he's going to be restricted free agent, i just hope crazy russian NJ owner puts some money so we just get rid of this loser...

n

There's a glitch somewhere, all the Tim Thomas posts are from July... Peculiar...

every time chicago losses a player, he becomes better ...it may be our play callers

go derrick rose!

Ummm... Wow....

Has the literacy level and comprehension skills of the readers here really declined this severely?

This article relates to TYRUS THOMAS, 4th year player out of LSU, starting power forward for the Bulls the past 2 seasons. Talented young player with great athleticism, speed, shot blocking abilities, rebounding skills and great vertical leap that shows flashes of promise, but has had issues with attitude, shot selection, team defense, and professionalism.

TIM THOMAS has done 2 stints with the Bulls, drafted out of Villanova in 1997, and it currently on IR with the Dallas Mavericks with a knee injury.

Regardless, this is sad news for TYRUS, as there is much interest in his performance this season. As the Bulls have chosen to let him become a restricted free agent after this season, he really needs quality playing to time to (a) develop, grow, and prove his worth and fit with the emerging players on the Bulls, and (b) portray his potential value to other teams in the off-season negotiation process.

Hopefully this will neither (a) set the Bulls back too far with a very difficult part of their schedule on the horizon, or (b) set Tyrus too far back in his development at a very pinnacle point of his career.

As fans, I believe that we need to bear in mind that many of these athletes are very young men, and really need the counsel and leadership of coaches and more experienced players to help them utilize their talents.

Commensurately, statistically speaking even being on an NBA roster makes an athlete part of a very select group. As such, there is a great responsibility on behalf of these athletes to seek opportunity to develop and grow, adopt good habits and behaviors, and seek counsel when needed. I think this is what many young players "don't get"... Talent does not equal entitlement; athletes may get the shot at "the bigs" but it is ultimately up to them acquire the "life skills" to stay there....

Thoughts?

After reading these blogs, I'm not sure if these folks really didn't understand the difference between Tim and Tyrus. Some claimed he was garbage with an out-side shot. Neither one of these describes Tyrus. Unfortuneately they chose to write when the story was about Tyrus. Goes to show the smarts of 90% of bloggers. The 10% that knows the difference between these 2, keep on writing.

The bulls should have traded tyrus thomas a long time ago or at least during this offseason. The bulls don't need him because his not a scorer, his just blocks shocks and scores points on dunks, his a garbage player to me. The bulls will better without him and now the other two rookies can get more time and show their skills and may take his job for good.

when thomas gets on a team that uses his assets watch him become the beast that we all know he can be

haha...there should be a law restricting fools that can't read (Tyrus not Tim) from posting nything on a public board!! OMG...and i thought Hellen Keller was "special"....rofl

Needs to drink more milk!!

#40 who did vinny play with n now has beef?

Ty is Garbage....an athletic freak who never shaped his game. Now the rookie can get more minutes and show he's more productive

Its Tyrus Thomas NOT TIM THOMAS

WOW, the readers are as incompetent as the writers on yahoo. It was TYRUS THOMAS not Tim

i agree with number 41! i mean seriously what the @#$% are the bulls doing? do they want a championship? they have @#$% players and they got lucky in the playoff's becuase KG was out. THE BULLS COULD HAVE GOT KG, TMAC, AND KOBE , AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET BOOZER @#$% do something chicago basketball is dying can some rich guy buy the bulls please!?

maybe the bulls will buy me out so i dont have to be a fan anymore

Ok #40, if this goofy looking SOB was on top of his game, why has been cut and traded so many times?! If he did end up flipping burgers, Im sure jack in the box would cut him too

All of you haters keep hating. this man is always at the top of his game, but you all dont know the nba is like the govt. a lot of political bull@#$%. you guys didnt know that him and del negro still had beef from when they played together??? i guess not. the bulls higher office wanted him, vinny aint wanna play him. o well, show up practice, school the rookies and get a check, whats wrong with that???

someone said he need to flip burgers...lol, why you want him to come work with you? the man has a talent that some of us could never show, thats why your on here hating, while we out here living!!!!!

I agree with #20 this dude had so much potential coming outta Villanova, but now he looks overweight and uninspired.
