Bobcats make qualifying offer to Tyrus Thomas

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Bobcats made a qualifying offer to forward Tyrus Thomas.

That will make him a restricted free agent and allow the team to match any offer he receives. Thomas wasn't given as many minutes as we were hoping for in Charlotte last season, as he still tries to find a permanent home in the NBA.

Nice. He is my favorite Bobcat right now. Was hoping we would do what we could to keep him.

[necroplasm]

Cool. lol, I still remember that horrible flop he tried to pull in Orlando, then started laughing about how bad his acting skills were.

He's a good player, we need to keep him.

this, what do you guys think about david lee?

I think someone besides the Bobcats is going to pay him a lot of money.

We need to start Tyrus over Diaw. I think Diaw would be much better coming off the bench in situations. Tyrus has raw energy, defensive ability that Diaw lacks, and we seen in a game with Orlando he can score points and shoot if given the chance.

Oh and if we were the luckiest team in the world and got David Lee.... we'd be pretty awesome.

Diaw has to go...period.

[BF91]

Diaw has to go...period.

I'd love to have Diaw come off the bench at a much lower price than what we've got him at. He's not a horrible player, but that contract looks even worse now that Thomas looks like he's more than qualified to grab a starting role.
