Here's the deal, Tyrus has played great lately, and he's eligible for an early extension this summer.
How much would you give Tyrus this summer in an extension offer. He's eligible for a five year extension, but no doubt the Bulls and Tyrus will disagree on what he's earned so far.
Pros:
If we come to terms, we'll lock up Tyrus on a deal that looks good for us for the long term assuming Tyrus continues to develop. We're not going to overpay to lock him up right now.
I like Tyrus, so I'll be happy to have him here long term.
Cons:
If we lock him up, Tyrus will become a poison pill player which will make it extremely difficult to move him in a trade this season, Tyrus would likely be involved with a trade for Bosh/Amare if we made one, so it could really lower those odds.
Tyrus is one of those guys I wonder about if he'll still work once he gets paid. He's been harder to get into the gym than a lot of our other players so far for the team.
I've heard he's got a little bit of Ron Artest in him personality wise, IE, he's a little crazy, and long term I'm not sure if you want those types around unless they become stars. You don't want your role players to have weird attitude issues.
What do you think? Personally, I'm betting we don't even engage in serious negotiation because we'll want to have the option of trading him for a star, and the only way something gets done is if Tyrus gives us a really great deal on an extension (maybe 7 million a year or so).
