Scott Skiles
21 February 2009
Tim Thomas was a Bull a few years ago when Scott Skiles was still the coach. He came in as part of a trade, played three games, and then was told to stay away from the team by Skiles. He was released a short time late and went on to sign with the Suns. Why bring him back now? Paxson refers to the relationship between current coach Vinny Del Negro and Thomas from their playing days. (Yes, Del Negro is THAT young.) Hopefully Thomas’ stay will be more productive than his last, but he’s never been much more than a hit-man and a board-pounder. Jerome James was a mega-bust in New York, so if he’s healthy and contributes anything of note, that’s a bonus for Chicago. Anthony Robertson makes little to no difference in this deal.
