Thomas is only 22 and will probably surpass mislap, with Rose only being 20 why would you be inpatient with Thomas at this point. If you can't package him for bosh or amare, might as well keep him for the time being until he develops further. Plus adding hinrich to the deal just makes it one sided for the Jazz.
I am not a big fan of Milsap either, but I think the Bulls are in "Dump Thomas at any cost mode" (I don't agree btw), but if that's the case, I'd say we are a little better off than our alternatives. That said, I am a much bigger fan of Brewer. He reminds me of Thabo and could be good Gordon insurance this year and Salmons insurance next year.
I think the Bulls are in "Dump Thomas if you can land someone big mode". I doubt the bulls would trade thomas away unless its for bosh, amare, or another blockbuster deal. If the bulls dont trade Thomas, Del Negro will need to find a way to trust him and give him minutes. Tyrus improved over last year and nearly doubled all his stats so i doubt the bulls are giving up on him. I'd rather hold onto thomas and watch him develop with rose, than trade him away in a trade thats based off his current value rather than his eventual value. Not saying he will be this good but i feel the bulls are in the same situation the blazers were with Jermaine O'neal. I'm tired of this notion that if someone has been in the league for three or more years they should be developed. In the case of thomas, he's only played 20+ minutes one season and he's only 22. Too early to call him a bust, people jump the gun too quickly just like some people did on Noah, saying it was a waste pick.
