Thomas will also be a restricted free agent this offseason, but he may be easier to snatch from a struggling Sacramento Kings team than Bledsoe from Phoenix.

In the 2013-14 season, Thomas finished with 20.3 points per game, 6.3 assists per game, and 1.3 steals per game which brought his name into potential Most Improved Player of the Year discussions.

On top of that, his time on the floor rose to 34.7 minutes per game from 26.9 the year before.

It is quite obvious he has earned a new contract with a larger amount of money and if the Knicks can’t land any of the other big names this may be a guy to consider as well.

The young, quick guard knows how to score, and while he’s not known as the best playmaker at the point guard position, he can make defenses pay with his long-range shooting. He could help the Knicks in many different ways and is young as well which is important for New York to concentrate on moving forward.
