In the 2016–17 season, he led the Celtics to the first seed of the Eastern Conference and finished 5th in MVP voting.

He was traded by Boston to the Cleveland Cavaliers in August 2017 before being dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers at mid-season. In July 2018, Thomas joined the Denver Nuggets. He later signed with the Washington Wizards in July 2019, before again being traded mid-season, this time to the Los Angeles Clippers where he was waived shortly after. In the midst of the 2020–21 season, Thomas signed a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans and played three games. During the 2021–22 season, Thomas re-joined the Lakers on a 10-day contract after playing one game with the Grand Rapids Gold of the NBA G League.
