According to Jake Fischer, the 23-year-old is currently deciding between two options for the Brooklyn Nets and beyond: sign the qualifying offer this season or sign a two-year deal with Brooklyn.
If Cam Thomas were to sign the qualifying offer, it would guarantee him the reality of being an unrestricted free agent in 2026’s offseason. This is something that has held him down this offseason.
If he were to accept the Nets two-year contract offer, Thomas would only be making $28 million in total and the second year is a team option. The young guard has expressed his desires of earning top-tier money for his statistical production and what he believes he can offer to an organization.
This offseason has shown two things for Thomas: being a restricted free agent has been a nightmare to leave and earn more, and the lack of cap space from interested teams to leave Brooklyn. Thomas has reportedly become intrigued in leaving the Nets to go somewhere else.
Last season, he averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
