There is no rush at all! Thomas s poor market conditions make the Nets not anxious about renewing their contracts?

According to reports from The Stein Line reporter Marc Stein, the Brooklyn Nets are not in a hurry to finalize the contract renewal of restricted free agent Cam Thomas at this stage. According to Stein: Since there is no team in the league with sufficient salary space to provide Thomas with a quotation contract, the Nets are not in a hurry to speed up the negotiation process with Thomas' agent. Stein also said Thomas was in the same situation as Jonathan Cumingga and Josh Giddey, two players who were also in restricted free agent form, and he was also looking for a long-term contract with an annual salary of around $30 million.

Thomas was born in October 2001 and is 23 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 95kg. He is a backcourt player from Louisiana State University selected the 27th pick in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Thomas played 25 games in total due to injury, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, averaging 24 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 2.5 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 88.1%.

Thomas' performance last season was actually pretty good. Although his playing time was limited, he was able to show quite good scoring ability in the game where he remained healthy. He was able to play a lot of roles on the offensive end on the court. He was able to maintain super scoring ability and stable offensive efficiency while holding a large amount of ball rights. His ability in passing and organizing has actually improved to a certain extent. But his progress in other aspects is not obvious, and his role on the defensive end is also relatively limited. Thomas is a player with very distinctive characteristics. He can play some roles, but his weaknesses in some aspects are indeed quite obvious.

According to previous news, the Nets provided Thomas with a two-year contract with an annual salary of $14.1 million, with the second year of the contract being a team option. Thomas was very disappointed with the Nets' offer, and he had even deleted all news about the Nets on social media. There was also news that Thomas was seriously considering the possibility of accepting a qualification offer and becoming a full free agent next summer. On the one hand, the Nets' offer to Thomas is indeed significantly lower, but on the other hand, Thomas' current market conditions are also a practical situation. I don’t know how the situation will develop in the end, what kind of contract will Thomas get?
