I'd love to have Tyrus, but he's a good 3 inches shorter than TC.


True, but he's got bounce in those legs. That's what TC had. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Tyrus could actually jump a bit higher than TC could. You wanna talk about bringing back the CCC threat, Tyrus would do that.

It's hilarious how you keep talking up Gordon, yet you condemn anyone who wants to see Thornton log more minutes.

Hey player, I don't condemn anyone at all, no one brought up more minutes, I just said if i want anyone who has a bad salary it'd be him then people brought up Thornton.. Okay, cool... I think Gordon's better...


Comprehension is vital

I didn't mean this thread in general.

You have a ton of posts in other threads telling people to stop whining about Thornton not getting playing time.

TC is a Center and Tyrus is a PF buth with more hops.

I've always wished we had TT because it would be a thing of beauty with CP3 and TT connecting up on lobs from all over the place.

I personally would rather have TT than David West. West has had a nice run but he buckles under pressure and loses his cool way too often in important moments. The most important reason I want TT is because he is a better defensive presence than DWest. TT is way more athletic which is an element this team lacks severely.

Really? I had no idea about Darnell. Wait, I think we're missing a true point guard in that line-up. How about Darrel Mitchell? He was pretty good. I wonder where he's at right now.

Do you realize how many guys we could sign that could do this? This doesn't mean shite and wouldn't help us at all.

in 2 yrs thomas will be 26. he'll be in the 3rd year of this deal and have 2 years remaining, so he is signed through his age 28 season.




Thats not my point.

His 8 or 9 mil per year does not match his productivity. Not to mention he is undersized.
