Additional from ProBasketballTalk.com

Ken Berger at CBSsports.com is reporting the Bulls and Bobcats are close to a deal that sends Thomas to Charlotte. What is not released yet what would head back to the Midwest, but it likely would include Acie Law and Flip Murray, both expiring deals. Charlotte may want to find a way to include point guard DJ Augustin, who the team has been trying to move for a while, however the Bulls want expiring contracts and DJ is in just the second year of his rookie deal.

Okay, it's a done deal.

12:10 pm It's official according to Mark Spears at Yahoo, Tyrus Thomas is headed to the Bobcats. The deal is for Acie Law, Flip Murray and a future first round pick. Denver had tried to get Thomas in a deal, but the Bobcats pick will be much higher and that was the deciding factor.

I agree with Brit, its not like we have ever drafted anyone worth a damn. Lets try and trade our next 20 first round picks for Lebron haha. Im pumped about this trade, tyrus thomas has a ton of upside and with some good defensive coaching from LB he could turn into another Ben Wallace but with better scoring potential. Question is tho, does Diaw slide to the bench or does Tyrus become our 6th man?

If this is true I'm excited. We traded garbage for a good player. Now Henderson might get some PT with Flip gone. Another great trade by the Bobcats. Screw the first round pick. It's not like we've gotten anything out of our past first rounders.

eeehhhh idk if id say Thomas is a GOOD player. hes alright.

I like the trade, but then again, I dont like the trade. I believe Thomas needs to run, and with the Bobcats being more of a half-court team, I dont see the fit. He'll help tremendously on defense, though. With Wallace and Thomas, you'll have some excellent shotblockers. Atleast the 'Cats made a move, though. They needed to.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
