"Restricted free agent Cam Thomas is signing a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer to return to the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN on Thursday. The Nets were unable to reach a long-term deal with Thomas, so the 23-year-old high-scoring guard opted for the qualifying offer that gives him a full no-trade clause and sets him for unrestricted free agency next summer with at least 10 teams set to have cap space."
"Thomas' representatives, Ron Shade and Alex Saratsis of Octagon, discussed several frameworks of deals with the Nets but ultimately declined Brooklyn's offers of two years and $30 million with a team option for the second season or one year and $9.5 million with incentives up to $11 million while waiving the no-trade clause, sources said. Thomas averaged 24.0 points, 3.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 31.2 minutes per game last season, but he appeared in only 25 contests due to hamstring injuries."
Cam Thomas will sign a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer to return to the Brooklyn Nets, retaining a full no-trade clause and preserving unrestricted free agency eligibility next summer. Negotiations on a long-term deal did not produce an agreement, with representatives rejecting offers that included two years for $30 million with a second-year team option and a one-year $9.5 million proposal with incentives to $11 million that would have waived the no-trade clause. Thomas averaged 24.0 points, 3.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 31.2 minutes last season but appeared in only 25 games due to hamstring injuries. He has averaged 22.9 points over the past two seasons, logged nine career 40-point games (fourth in Nets history), and was double-teamed on 18% of his touches in 2024-25.
