Teams all around the NBA continue to make myriad moves in advance of what will likely be one of the most entertaining offseasons in recent memory. One such team making moves is the New York Knicks, who have reportedly waived veteran Lance Thomas ahead of free agency beginning per Shams Charania of The Athletic:

Thomas had spent the last 5 seasons with the New York Knicks after starting his career with the New Orleans Hornets then Pelicans after attending Duke University.

Still only 31 years old, Thomas could serve as a low-cost, veteran’s minimum type of player for a variety of different contending teams, including (perhaps most notably) the Los Angeles Lakers.

Thomas’s best year was likely his first full one with the Knicks in 2015-16. Thomas played 59 games for the Knickerbockers, playing over 22 minutes a game while scoring 8.2 points per contest on 44.2 percent shooting from the field and 40.4 percent from deep per Basketball Reference.

With all teams in the NBA looking for inexpensive three-and-D archetypes, Thomas should be able to provide that with ease on any team he signs with this offseason.

Though Thomas’s three-point shooting plummeted this season (27.8 percent per Basketball Reference), he is a career 38.3 percent three-point shooter on over 1 attempt per game. That volume might not be promising, he three-point attempt rate has actually been over 40 percent the past two seasons.

A low-usage (career 13.9 percent) three-point shooter with defensive potential? Sounds like someone any team would want.
