<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><font face="Tahoma">Just a couple years removed from being a major contributor for a very good team in Milwaukee, Thomas found himself banished from the Chicago Bulls' organization labeled as nothing more than a cancerous malcontent. Two years later, a healthy and happy looking Thomas still doesn't understand what exactly went down.</font></p> <font face="Tahoma">"There was really no reason for that situation," Thomas said in an exclusive interview earlier this week. "To this day I still don't know exactly what happened with their organization not wanting me to play, but different things happen for different reasons."</font></p> <font face="Tahoma">While the reason for his treatment in Chicago still isn't clear to Thomas, he's not complaining about the results. Thomas was signed by the Phoenix Suns after being bought out by the Bulls and resurrected his career with a very strong playoff run. The Los Angeles Clippers took notice and signed him to a long-term deal last summer.</font></p> <font face="Tahoma">Don't misunderstand, though, Thomas hasn't forgotten what happened in The Windy City. And unlike most players who just regurgitate the company line not wanting to ruffle any feathers, Thomas has no problem letting his true feelings about the Bulls' organization be heard.</font></p> <font face="Tahoma">"Chicago's put themselves in a position to kind of end a lot of guys' careers," Thomas confided. "They've done it to two guys that I know. It was just a situation where I wasn't going to let that happen."</div></font></p> <font face="Tahoma"><a href="http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?STORY_ID=5470" target="_blank">http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?STORY_ID=5470</font></a></p> <font face="Tahoma">So who are his two compatriots. Eddie Robinson and ?....oh....good quality of player to group yourself with Tim! </font></p>
