Thomas asked for 162 million yuan in five years: The Nets only gave 15 million yuan an annual salary, but may sign 5.99 million yuan in one year to return to the team.

On July 30, according to Brett Siegel, a reporter from US media Clutch Points, Nets star Cameron Thomas asked for a five-year, $162 million contract, but the Nets were only willing to pay an annual salary of $15 million. The two sides have a big disagreement, and Thomas is likely to accept a qualification offer and return to the Nets.

Speaking of the prospects of restricted free agent Cameron Thomas, Brett Siegel wrote an article that Thomas hopes his contract to match Quickley - $162 million in five years, but the Nets' bids did not exceed 15 million annual salary. The huge differences between the two sides also led to Thomas becoming the most likely to sign a restricted free agent this summer. Thomas's qualification quotation is $5.99 million in one year.

Thomas has played for the Nets for 4 seasons. He has proved that he is one of the outstanding scorers in the NBA shooting guard position, but his offense is too independent. Most of the time he only has the basket but no teammates. In addition, Thomas is a big burden to the team on the defensive end, which should be one of the reasons why the Nets are unwilling to give him a big contract.

23-year-old Thomas played 25 games for the Nets last season, averaging 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting percentage of 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 88.1%. At present, he is likely to accept a one-year, $5.99 million qualification contract to return to the Nets, and he can become an unlimited free agent next summer.
