Thomas Bryant's wait for another team will have to continue as the NBA season approaches quickly.
The Indiana product has been quite the journeyman throughout the start of his professional career and while being a journeyman isn't the worst case scenario, the constant lack of security to stick on a roster is a feeling that no player in the league wants to deal with.
Bryant in particular is a bit of a surprising player to remain unsigned at this point of the offseason considering his talent level and the constant need of front court insurance for teams around the league.
After an impressive stint in the postseason with the Indiana Pacers last season during their run to the NBA Finals, the big man seemed like a candidate to find a home quickly when free agency began this offseason.
However, with the preseason just a few weeks away, Bryant remains unsigned despite considerable interest from one of the top contending teams in the Eastern Conference.
Knicks opted against signing Bryant, pivoted to Brogdon/Shamet
The New York Knicks were one of the most recent teams to show interest in signing Thomas Bryant before eventually deciding against it.
With a couple standard roster spots left open, New York considered the idea of bolstering their front court behind the likes of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson.
However, with Mike Brown's squad seemingly more interested in adding backcourt depth, New York pivoted to signing another pair of former Wizards in Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet.
Brogdon earning a roster spot over Bryant isn't shocking to say the least, at least looking at the resume between the two players.
The veteran guard has a recent Sixth Man of the Year award under his belt and considering the lack of bench options the Knicks had last offseason, it's understandable why New York opted to go that direction.
Nonetheless, Shamet earning a spot on the Knicks over Bryant could spark debate.
Shamet hasn't shown much throughout his NBA career despite being an adequate three point shooter.
In 50 games with the Knicks last season, Shamet played 15.2 minutes per game, averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists.
Looking at the lack of depth in the front court, it's a bit of a head scratcher to see the Knicks' pivot to adding two guards over Bryant, especially after signing Jordan Clarkson earlier this offseason.
As the NBA season looms, Bryant will continue waiting for his opportunity.
