While the Raptors seemingly release smokescreen after smokescreen, the Bulls appear ready to select Tyrus Thomas, according to a source who spoke with Brian Hanley of the Chicago Sun-Times.  

Another source said that as of Monday, John Paxson was still undecided though.

''I'm just [hoping] to go to the team where I'm best going to fit in,'' Thomas said. ''I don't want to be No. 1 and then not have a great career. I'd rather go down to 2, 3 or 4 and go somewhere where I can shine and play well.''
