It sounds like Knicks forward Kurt Thomas plans on opting-out of the final year of his contract next summer.

"According to a source close to Thomas, he will opt out of the final year of his contract if he has the same productive season as the past two."

When the Post asked Thomas about the possibility of becoming a free agent next summer, " Thomas cracked a smile and told The Post, "I feel the contract will take care of itself. We'll find out. I'm just focusing on the season and not thinking about it."

Souces also said that if he did indeed opt-out, Thomas' first choice to play would be Dallas.
