Tim Thomas Expresses Interest in Playing for the Celtics

"The source also said veteran free agent Tim Thomas, 32, is quietly expressing interest in the Celtics. The 6-foot-10-inch, 240-pounder averaged 8.5 points and 3.1 rebounds and shot 41.3 percent from 3-point range with the Clippers, Knicks, and Bulls in 64 games last season. Thomas played with Allen in Milwaukee."

Interesting. Is Thomas expecting a buyout with the Bulls? How would he end up on the Celtics?

Didn't KC say a while back that

there was a possible buyout for him again?

"Vinny continues to act like a crazed arsonist pouring gasoline on our season while running around carrying a torch yelling 'I’m in charge. Don’t any of you foolish knaves try to second guess me. I know gasoline is a liquid but I’m pretty sure it isn’t flammable and the odor gives me a natural high.'" - Tyrusmancrush

He's good at expressing interest.

HAving interest, now that’s another thing entirely.

Three things you must know:
-"Ben Gordon is a bundle of muscle and clutch. That's all he's made of. Drink BG7 energy drink, you'll grow a pair of balls on your balls."
-Pau Gasol: The defense of a seven foot ladder paired with the post presence of Manute Bol.
-Joakim Noah is better than you.

Technically, the article says that he has interest in "being moved."

That’s about as passive as it gets. The title of this post is the only thing that mentions “playing.”

i understand Tim Thomas is not exactly a star-type player

butI wanted the Bulls to play him in the playoffs cause he can hit a couple of threes and can play 5-10 min. for stretches. taking time off for other starters. His D mite not be the best, but he can shoot.
