According to the NBA league name Marc Stein news report, Thomas Jr., who previously signed a 10-day player short-term contract with the Lone Ranger, his NBA player contract is also about to expire, and the Lone Ranger has decided not to continue to provide a contract to Thomas Jr. As a result, Thomas Jr.'s career as a Lone Ranger player has officially come to an end, and it is worth mentioning that Thomas Jr. has only played 1 game in the Lone Ranger due to the triggering of the League's Health and Safety Agreement.
In the only regular season game, Thomas Jr. came off the bench for 13 minutes with 6 points, 0 rebounds and 4 assists, 3 of 8 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers in the game, and the Lone Ranger eventually lost to the Kings in this game. It is very interesting that after Thomas Jr. isolated from the lineup, the Lone Ranger quickly played a wave of 5 consecutive wins. Therefore, now the Lone Ranger management obviously has no reason to choose to keep Thomas Jr., and the former king of the NBA League can only be unemployed again.
In fact, not only the Lone Ranger, the Lakers have also signed a 10-day contract with Thomas Jr., but the Lakers also chose not to renew the contract after the contract expired. In fact, during the Lakers' tenure, Thomas Jr.'s data performance was indeed slightly worse, although Thomas Jr. on the court was really very hardworking, but the height restrictions and defensive shortcomings were doomed to make it difficult for Thomas Jr. to continue to stand in the NBA. As for whether there will be other teams willing to sign Thomas Jr. next, it is difficult for Thomas Jr. to get the attention of the management of the NBA team at present.
It is inevitable that the old saying will be repeated here, because unlike other unpopular free agents, Thomas Jr. was originally a star player in the NBA League, and there was a big contract totaling up to $70 million in front of him that year, but Thomas Jr., who was at the peak of his life, had a big appetite and wanted to get a long-term top salary contract from the Celtics management. And what happened after that is undoubtedly that as we all know, Thomas Jr.'s "contract renewal gamble" eventually failed miserably, so now Thomas Jr. can only continue to fight for short-term contracts, so as to expect to return to the NBA stadium again!
