What It Means:

The Knicks are just three-and-a-half games out of a playoff spot through 48 games, but they're clearing looking at the long-term. They are likely looking to add younger, cheaper wings while unloading Lee and Thomas' combined $18.4 million.

While Lee averages 33.1 minutes, 13.7 points and ranks 3rd on the team in nERD, Thomas has played just 18.7 minutes per game while producing a nERD ranked 15th among all Knicks in 2017-18.
