Knicks plan to re-sign Amundson and Thomas for the vet’s minimum

The Knicks also were trying to find a way to retain center Jason Smith and combo guard Alexey Shved, but that may not be possible if they get offers higher than $2.8 million. Jackson plans to re-sign Lou Amundson and Lance Thomas for the vet’s minimum, according to the NY Post. Mark Bartelstein, agent for Smith and Amundson, said the Knicks have kept “closely connected’’ on both issues.
