Veteran guard Isaiah Thomas and John Wall were both interviewed at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas over the weekend. Both Thomas and Wall indicated that they are still looking to find roster spots in the NBA.
"I’m a free agent right now...talking to a few teams trying to see what the best opportunity is down the line," Thomas told ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth. "I want to play a year or two more. Just staying on the slow grind. Staying patiently ready. Knowing that I can impact an organization whether I play or not, and be super impactful each and every day. So, I’m just waiting for the call."
Thomas finished last season with the Phoenix Suns. He appeared in six games for the Suns, after originally signing two 10-day contracts before a rest-of-season deal.
Wall did not play in the NBA last season. The 33-year-old point guard said he's still working out to find a spot as a veteran mentor on a team's roster.
"For me, I’m not giving up on my dreams of getting back into the league," Wall said on ESPN’s Summer League broadcast. "I know it’s a lot of stuff that I dealt with, with injuries…My focus is to still work hard and come here and network and be around teams. Whatever role it is, I’m willing to accept. If it’s going to a team and being a vet and teaching the young guys how to be a point guard, just to help, that’s a development I’m willing to do."
