With Friday’s interesting Media Day, the Brooklyn Nets officially welcomed Lance Thomas to the team. He moved boroughs after spending the past four-plus seasons with the New York Knicks and played through 2018-19 as the organization’s longest-tenured player; Frank Ntilikina now holds that title, even at 21 years old and just two full seasons into the NBA.
The Knicks let Thomas walk in free agency after declining to guarantee his full 2019-20 contract, which did not come as a surprise, given the free-agency outlook of approximately $70 million in cap space.
Thomas recalled his time with the Knicks at Nets Media Day, speaking positively on the team he once joined via trade in 2015, per the New York Daily News.
