Goodbye Tyrus Thomas

Tyrus Thomas was traded to the Charlotte Bobcats on February 18, 2010 for Ronald "Flip" Murray, Acie Law, and a future first round pick.

Thomas was drafted fourth overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers on June 28, and then was traded to the Chicago Bulls along with Viktor Khryapa for LaMarcus Aldridge, the second overall pick.

Tyrus participated in the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Contest and would be the first Chicago Bulls representative since Scottie Pippen entered the contest in 1990.

In Game 1 of the Celtics-Bulls series of the playoffs, Tyrus hit critical jumpers in overtime to help the Bulls secure the win.

Miss u souleater!

[jthouse51]

song is garbage! Tyrus is finally getting the playing time that he hasn't gotten in years past with the bulls.

Such an awesome mix. I was a little sad when he was traded but hey he and Gerald Wallace are gonna hopefully have some awesome highlights for us! I always have thought Tyrus was an underated player. His leaping ability is CRAZY!

the bulls starting lineup is better now but Tyrus would have been great off the bench behind Boozer. I love Tyrus but the problem with him is, when his athleticism is gone, so is his game.
