    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The NBA is coming up on the halfway point of the season, one that even Miami Heat coach and President Pat Riley called a "41-game disappointment." So what about the Bulls, who are stumbling along at 17-23, two games behind last season at this time, and currently ninth in the Eastern Conference?

    What should they do? Could they make a trade and make a move in a weak Eastern Conference? Or should they just let the season ride, get the two draft lottery picks--theirs plus the one the Knicks are sure to provide from the Eddy Curry deal--and recoup with some $15 million to spend in free agency this summer?

    Wait, what about this? How about adding a versatile 6-foot-10-inch veteran who would be their second-tallest player and who can hit threes, having made more than 40 percent of his attempts last season?

    "The only thing I want to do is play basketball," Tim Thomas was saying by phone from New Jersey one day last week while the kids were fussing in the van on the way to Philadelphia. "Everything that happened from Day One, I don't really understand. I'm still confused about the whole situation. But I don't have anything bad to say about anybody [in Chicago]. I don't even remember how long I was there. I didn't make any relationships with anybody. Going into Chicago, I was excited. I've been in situations before that were not great (as far as winning). I know I can go out and do what I want [on the court] on a consistent basis. Chicago would have been a perfect situation for me."</div>

    When can we get rid of him and stop paying him?

    His contract expires after the season. Then we get some major cap room, because of that.
