Last season, 24 points per game: Cameron Thomas still wants an annual salary of 30 million

July 19th News According to Nets reporter Brian Lewis, new contract negotiations between the Nets and restricted free agent Cameron Thomas are still at a standstill, and there is no sign that a solution will be soon.

Three sources revealed that the Nets and Cameron Thomas both seem willing to wait, and the former is still weighing how to use the remaining cap space. The Nets are currently the only team in the league that still has enough salary space under the salary cap, and this flexibility seems to be a factor in the delay (the two sides reach a contract renewal). Although the Nets are still willing to renew their contract with Cameron Thomas, they are not in a hurry. Similarly, Cameron Thomas's camp does not want to speed up the negotiation process.

A source close to Cameron Thomas revealed that Cameron Thomas is considering a contract with an average salary of $30 million. Such valuations stem from his belief that he is not inferior to Quickley ($162.5 million in five years), Herro ($120 million in four years) and Barrett ($107 million in four years).

However, the Nets seem reluctant to give a quote close to this number (30 million). As no other team is willing to offer a heavy offer, the Nets have no external pressure.

league sources said Cameron Thomas may eventually accept a $6 million qualification offer and become a full free agent in the summer of 2026. However, this situation may be considered an alternative.

2024-25 season, Cameron Thomas ended his season journey early due to a hamstring injury. In 25 games in their 25 games, Cameron Thomas averaged 31.2 minutes per game and scored 24 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
