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.

According to Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors and former Boston Celtics player Al Horford are close on a contract agreement. However, the Jonathan Kuminga situation is stalling those talks as he wants them to resolve that issue first.

Once the Kuminga issue is dealt with, Horford is expected to sign a two-year, over $11 million deal with the Warriors. He would use the full taxpayer midlevel exception for this upcoming season, which would land him $5.685 million for 2025-26.

The second season would be a player option, as the Warriors are hoping this type of contract is to his liking. Golden State highly values his ability to stretch the floor and being able to switch on defense, especially around the center position.

Despite his name being circulated throughout the offseason in trade rumors and buyout rumors, Nikola Vucevic isn’t phased by any of this. In fact, he’s almost expected this due to the nature of the NBA.

When asked about the rumors of him leaving the Chicago Bulls, he said most of them were false and he fully expects to start the season with them. Vucevic said it was pure speculation, largely fueled by him being in the last year of his contract.

“There are always rumors. Most of them are false. It’s a bit of nonsense. For example, the buy-out was misinterpreted in Europe: the journalist wrote that if there was no ‘trade’ during the season, there might be a ‘buy-out’ option before the ‘deadline’,” Vucevic said. “I know how the business works: in the last year of a contract, there is always speculation. Since I can’t control anything, I try not to worry about it.”

Chicago’s general manager Marc Eversley reached out to Vucevic to personally tell him the rumors are fake and they have no intentions of moving him at this time.

“The Bulls’ GM (Marc Eversley), who had contacted me after all the rumors about me, confirmed that nothing was true and that everything we had said to each other after the season was still relevant,” Vucevic said. “I knew it but it’s always nice when your GM contacts you to tell you.”

When talking about his goals and future in the NBA, Vucevic has went on record to say that he wants to win a championship in career. He has made it clear he doesn’t know when he’ll retire, but the 34-year-old has not set an expiration date on his career.

“I haven’t set myself an age limit. As long as I’m physically well, motivated and have a role on the pitch that suits me, I hope to continue playing. I feel very good physically and mentally. I’m coming off a very good season,” Vucevic said. “I’m entering the last year of my contract with Chicago. After that, we’ll see what opportunities and roles are offered. I know that sooner or later my role will evolve, and I am ready to accept that. I think I still have a few good years ahead of me.”
