I have a feeling this trade thread may get bashed a bit. Ah well. It happens to the best of them and I have a thick skin
Anyways....
I do believe Tyrus is out of favor with the bulls, almost to the point of being called a bust. Mostly because of his horrible offense. However he's only 22 (JT's age), hyper athletic, and plays that hussle sort of D.
His stats in 21 minutes per game:
6.4 pts (33% fg..ew), 5.4 rebs, .8 assists to 2 TOs (ew), 1 stl, 1.6 blks (yay!)
There were already rumors floating around that the Bulls covet Miller, but for some reason the trade fell through (we didnt want Noc I think). They could actually use him to help Rose out with the offense, and he may be the piece they need to push them over the top so they could get a first round exit (hah). Also, Miller helps them in '10.
We do it for 3 reasons:
1: We free up minutes at C for both JT and Hawes. JT would gain the most from this as he would be the primary backup for both Mikki and Spencer.
2: TT himself. At only 22 he has time to refine his offensive game working with Kevin's trainer Thorpe. But until he does (if ever) he'd primarily be used off the bench to grab boards, and get blocks and steals. He's a 3/4 tweener, so we'd be exchanging the logjam at PF and C for a logjam at SF. We'd probably have to move Salmons or Cisco. But we'd have a freak athlete on the roster who can come in off the bench when we need some boards or defense.
3: Ping pongs. We'd probably suck a bit more without Brad.
So the trade itself would center around Miller and TT. With some throw-ins necessary to get the salaries right. If it comes down to it I say we give them our second rounders if we get a contract that expires this year from them. Petrie wastes second round picks anyways haha.
Thoughts? Criticisms?
