Notebook: Tim Thomas Signing Means Free Agency Is Done

by Matt SteinmetzFiled under: Bobcats, Hornets, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail BlazersThe Tim Thomas signing in Dallas makes it official: Free agency is winding down. Yeah, Lamar Odom is still out there and so are David Lee and a few others. But once you get to Tim Thomas, it means that Free Agency 2009 is poised to jump the shark.Whatever the opposite of a difference-maker is, that's Thomas. Dallas will be the seventh NBA stop for Thomas, who was selected with the No. 7 pick in the 1997 draft. Yes, Thomas is talented, and, yes, he can stretch the floor with his 3-point shooting.But we've heard those things for 12 years now. The reality of the situation is that Thomas will either be unhappy with limited minutes in Dallas or he'll get plenty of playing time there, meaning the Mavs aren't going to be going anywhere.Notebook: Tim Thomas Signing Means Free Agency Is Done originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:32:00 EDT .
