Did the Nets choose correctly in how they handled Cam Thomas?
The Brooklyn Nets had contentious negotiations with guard Cam Thomas last season before he was waived. Did the Nets make the right choice?
The Brooklyn Nets engaged in contentious contract negotiations with guard Cam Thomas, a player seeking his first NBA salary. Unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension, Thomas opted to play the 2025-26 season under his $6 million qualifying offer (QO). His performance on that deal has raised questions about whether the Nets made the right choice.
According to NetsDaily analyst Lucas Kaplan, Thomas is among the top 10% in offensive RAPM (rate adjusted plus minus) over the past three seasons. Despite his impressive scoring ability, NBA teams remain hesitant to commit to the Cam Thomas experience. As Thomas has yet to sign with a new team, with training camp approaching, the Nets' handling of his contract situation remains a topic of debate.
