Brooklyn Nets Guard Cam Thomas Seeks Long-Term Deal in Restricted Free Agency

Cam Thomas, a restricted free agent, has strongly expressed his desire to remain with the Brooklyn Nets, calling the team "home" and emphasizing the bonds he has built since being drafted. Despite his wish to stay, Thomas acknowledges the business side of free agency and is open to exploring what is best for his career. The Nets hold exclusive negotiating rights until June 30 and are expected to extend a qualifying offer if no agreement is reached. Given the Nets' unique salary cap space advantage, they face little competition for Thomas, with other teams limited to a mid-level exception offer of around $14 million. Industry sources anticipate Thomas’ contract to be in the range of $20-$25 million annually, aligning with recent extensions given to key Nets players. The length of the deal remains uncertain, with a long-term agreement providing security for Thomas and team-friendly terms for Brooklyn.
