K.C. trade Thomas to L.A. for draft pick
"Shavar (Thomas) is a consummate pro and class act," Kansas City Wizards Head Coach Curt Onalfo said. "We wish him the best of luck."
Thomas has been a member of the Wizards since 2004 and filled one of the Wizards Senior International roster spots. The 26-year-old Jamaican International played in 76 games for the Wizards over three seasons, scoring two goals and adding one assist.
After the trade, Kansas City now controls the rights to five picks in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. The Wizards traded their natural second round selection to Los Angeles in December for goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. Defender Alex Zotinca was traded to Chivas USA in February for a conditional second or third round selection.
