"We ask [Thomas] to sprint the floor," Skiles said. "To my knowledge, in his career he hasn't done it one time -- not one time. You guys, sit and watch the game tonight. If he gets in there, is he jogging or is he sprinting the floor?"

"I've got to not only look for, especially young guys, can someone help me win a game tonight and balance that against trying to get him to be a high, high-level player. He's not going to be if he doesn't do that one thing. If he did that, that's about all he has to do -- change ends like a train."

"We have not been able to get him to do that."

[MY TAKE]

Seems to me we made out like bandits with the LMA for Thomas Swap. Not that im saying Thomas doesnt have talent, but the effort LMA gives us seems to be alot more than Thomas is providing Chicago.
