Bobcats making qualifying offer to Tyrus Thomas

I hope jazz make a reasonable offer to this guy, he wil add some desperately needed shot blocking to the jazz and wil come as half price as Boozer. his offensive skill is kinda of raw, but jazz wil definately be better defensively with Tyrus than Boozer.


Charlotte Bobcats General Manager Rod Higgins announced today that the team has made a qualifying offer to forward Tyrus Thomas, making him a restricted free agent. The qualifying offer allows the Bobcats to match any offer he receives from another team.

The Bobcats acquired Thomas from Chicago on February 18, 2010, in exchange for Acie Law, Ronald “Flip” Murray and a future first-round draft pick. In 25 games with the Bobcats, Thomas averaged 10.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, while scoring in double figures 14 times. The fourth overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, Thomas has appeared in 279 career NBA games with averages of 8.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.

Thomas on Monday received the Jefferson Award as the Outstanding Athlete as a Newcomer in Service and Philanthropy for the work of his non-profit organization, Tyrus Thomas Inc., which focuses on youth outreach, community development and organizational support in cities including his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The Charlotte Bobcats, who became the NBA’s 30th team when they joined the league in 2004-05, finished the 2009-10 season with a franchise-best 44-38 overall record (31-10 at home) and first-ever playoff appearance.

If we offer that, Bobcats match the offer.
 
We only have the midlevel. I'd definitely throw a 5 year offer at the kid. He'll be 24 next year. It's not like he hasn't proved he can at least be a solid role player. That's basically what the midlevel is for. But I'm sure Charlotte would match any MLE offer so the point is moot. And since he'll make more than the MLE the point is doubly moot. If I was KOC I'd be on the phone with Jordan discussing S&T's for Boozer, but they don't have cap space to offer back, and they don't have much on their roster that would be exciting which basically kills it.
