Tyrus Thomas pulled out of a workout with the Portland Trail Blazers and his agent told team officials that a team ahead of them in the draft promised the young forward that they were going to select him.
Many feel that a deal is already in place for a team to trade for the Bulls’ #2 pick, and that Thomas has been informed that he’ll be the one taken there.
So who is trading for the #2 pick? The Kevin Garnett to the Bulls rumor has had consistent legs, and it would be interesting to see KG play with Kirk Hinrich and Andres Nocioni and/or Luol Deng (Ben Gordon would likely be involved in the trade). Who else is available that has the juice to get the #2 pick? It’s got to be a big man, because the Bulls are loaded in the backcourt. Jermaine O’Neal is the only other guy I can think of. But would the Pacers trade O’Neal to a division rival? I doubt it.
