Cam Thomas: Nets Waive Young Star

Big surprise on the Brooklyn side, since Cam Thomas was simply cut by the Nets, just before the end of transfers in the NBA.

This is something crazy that we didn’t see coming! Even though he was frequently mentioned in transfer rumors and his rating was at an all-time low, it still seemed extremely unlikely to imagine Cam Thomas being cut by his team. Unable to reach an agreement on an extension last summer, the guard still remained in Brooklyn via the qualifying offer, to the tune of $5.9 million. But, in an assumed desire of the Nets to tank, the common story comes to an end this Thursday and the crazy scorer, who is still running at 15.6 points per game this season (compared to 24 last season!), will be able to find a new team to bounce back from.

Now free from any contract, Cam Thomas should interest a good number of teams contending for the Playoffs looking for scoring off the bench. However, it will be necessary not to be too careful on the other side of the floor, or to have the necessary players to mask the defensive shortcomings of the native of Yokosuka (Japan). Formerly capable of stringing together 3 games in a row with more than 40 points, Cam Thomas is now starting from scratch, and will have to redo his icing in his new team by free agency 2026, and prove that he can still dynamite an attack in the NBA.
