Utah has claimed Forward Malcolm Thomas off waivers.

I bet the Jazz plan on sitting Favors and Kanter more and need someone to fill minutes.

Unless this means there's an upcoming trade, I really couldn't care less.

maybe Utah is just trying him out in case injuries hit.

In case. Lol.

Well his contract is guaranteed this year, so they would have to pay him out of his contract. Hopefully a trade is in the works or something.

Somewhere Tyrus Thomas is screaming. And Stephen Jackson is crying. And Drew Gooden is punching a wall as Marcus Camby sits there confused.

Thomas played for the Spurs a couple years ago, so possible that Lindsay scouted him at some point and liked him.

Only one game for the Spurs this season, but he grabbed 9 boards in 15 minutes.

Could mean a trade is brewing, or could just mean he's a prospect that they wanted to take a look at. Still, couldn't they have let his contract expire and then pick him up on a 10-day? Unless they knew someone else wanted him, that would have worked.

at the end of the season? Out of the blue pick up, but exciting to see something happen.

No, not at the end of the season. I should have been more clear. 48 hours after being waived he would have cleared waivers and become a free agent. That's what I was talking about. At that point (sometime today) he would have been available to sign with any team on a 10-day contract.

Given that they didn't wait and are now paying him for the rest of the season, I assume Lindsay really likes him.

Contract also continues to next season but I suspect it's not guaranteed.

Mind games.... That's all it is!!!

Maybe Biedrins gets cut now?
