QUOTE A virtual unknown when the college season began, the 6-foot-8 Thomas is about to complete a remarkable rise. Unless something unexpected happens, the Bulls will select Thomas with the No. 2 pick in tonight’s draft. The Bulls also own the No. 16 pick of the first round. daily herald |

No one knows who Pax is going to pick tonight. Period.
You can take an educated guess but Pax isn't going to just tell the Daily Herald his plan. |

No big surprise. Whether we like it or not, this has been getting more and more obvious with each passing day. I just hope Pax is smarter than all of the rest of us.

I will only accept a Tyrus Thomas drafting if a trade follows.

Or you can go with the old adage, where there's smoke, there's fire.
Seems like everyone and his brother with some sort of sources says we are heavily leaning towards Thomas. It may be more all of us not wanting to believe it. In the end I'm just going to be happy we are getting a good athlete that could potentially make us a better team. If Pax feels that guy is Thomas, so be it. |

I most likely am in denial because it is just such a disgusting possibility. |

If bulls don't get a post presence or a combo guard (like many mock drafts say we are taking TT and sefolosha) I am gonna flip a spiff.
The only thing that will stop me from putting a foot through something solid if we take thomas is trading up to nab Roy or Brewer. The only thing that would rectify such a catastrophe would be a trade of Tyrus, chandler and deng/gordon for garnett. It is being reported that this trade could easily happen in July, but might not be able to take place draft night bc they need to wait for the bulls to get below the cap. If neither of those things happen, I am rooting for the Clippers from now on. |

Just because the team does not pick the player you want, you will root for other teams. If that's the case, I'll be on my hundredth team by now! |

But do you see the madness?
I hope I am wrong, but remember when we drafted Fizer when he didn't fill a need? Yeah, I am just cautious. Pax has been pretty safe in his previous drafts but not taking a true post player or a 2 guard goes against what has gotten us this far. I think he feels the pressure of making this offseason a big one, and instead of taking the smart choice he is gambling, and I don't like to see that. Remember Fizer at small forward? That could be Tyrus at pf. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
