Mooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy.

AZoom for th winA!

I think in the end we can all agree that Tyrus is showing signs of improvement, but they are inconsistent. Who would be happy to see Tyrus suck forever? I doubt any of us would as long as he's a Bull. I doubt there is anyone hoping to see Tyrus suck even if it's just to say, "I was right, he does suck." I'm a big fan of Tyrus, but I realize he's got a long way to go until he reaches what everyone would like from him. At least he's having good games, it's a good enough reason for me to be optimistic.

God no, I don't WANT to see the Bulls or their players play poorly. I'd much rather be proven wrong like when I said a few times that Rose would struggle signifcantly as a rookie, he's been way more productive than I anticipated and that's a very good thing.

hmmm your anti tyrus rhetoric echos that which was directed towards Tyson Chandler. Maybe you can keep it up and convince the bulls brass to ditch Tyrus for pennies on the dollar and then they can pick up an aging defensive/rebounding ace like Camby watch him decline faster than expected and see the franchise set back several more years. Are you guys allergic to letting young bigs develope?

We knew Tyrus was a project. He didn't play organized ball until his senior year of highschool. Pax picked him with the expectation that he wouldn't be playing much until wallace started to decline which most didn't think would be for 2 or 3 years. He screwed up. Wallace gave up on the team and for the last 2 years Lamarcus would have been better, but that doesn't mean he will be better for the next 2.

I don't want to make it seem like I'm against trading Tyrus. I'm not. No one on this team is untouchable but Rose. But they shouldn't get rid of him for the sake of getting rid of him.

And don't throw Hughes stats at me. When he is out there they aren't playing team basketball. Swap Hughes minutes for Hinrich and this team becomes watchable. In Hughes defense there was about a month where he wasn't too selfish and the team looked good. Sadly it didn't last.

I never said anything about dumping Tyrus for nothing (though the Tyson comparison is a bit off considering he had two highly productive years before being traded). That said, his chances for exponential development are dropping, most guys that end up being elite players have done quite a bit more than him by now. I'd gladly take the next 2 years of LA over Tyrus (and more), he's built up quite a gap already and is still pretty young himself. It's kind of a moot point now though, we're resigned with still waiting for Tyrus to consistently perform like a starting caliber player.
