    via Marc Stein:

    I hope the 2nd year is a team option....I don't want Kurt Thomas hurting our cap space situation.

    Great....

    If he can have a Juwon Howard-esque impact, then that's fantastic. I remember when Thomas was relevant back when I was in middle school.

    I think he can still play about 10-15mins a game at PF/C.

    Should be something like:

    PF: Aldridge (30)/Wallace (15)/ Thomas (3)
    C: Camby (25)/ Aldridge (8)/ Thomas (10)/ CJ (5)

    If his nickname really is "Big Sexy", I think I can warm up to this.

    I am surprsed he started over 30 games for them last year. Averaged 23 minutes a game and almost 6 boards. He will be 40 next October.........

    Not a bad pick up. I do see the similarities with him and Juwon Howard. They need one more though

    It'd be great to have him as a mentor to Greg or any other raw/inexperienced bigman but now?...

    Just want to make sure I get this straight...

    Right now, if we had to play today, our starting 4 and 5 would be Kurt Thomas and Marcus Camby? Unless Chris Johnson beats one of them out?
