As the calendar approaches October, teams around the NBA look to fill out the edges of their roster. For the Brooklyn Nets, that meant signing a former New York Knicks swingman. However, it is Lance Thomas, not Carmelo Anthony, who will be joining the Nets.
Thomas was the longest-tenured Knick last season. The New York native is staying home despite the fact that the Knicks let him walk in free agency. He averaged 6.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in his five seasons with the Knicks.
Thomas isn’t one to fill up the box score, but he can be a strong veteran presence in the locker room for the Nets.
