Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Brooklyn Nets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
We’ve asked two poll questions in the past couple weeks:
The trade that brought Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 unprotected first round pick is the verdict except for one thing: Cam Thomas is still a restricted free agency. In most years, a player of Thomas’ caliber would’ve
received an offer by now and we’d know whether the Nets wanted to match.
We don’t know anything. Thomas hasn’t signed a deal which means he isn’t there to support the young guys in Las Vegas. He reportedly wants to be paid more than what the market has to offer, which isn’t much, particularly as GMs navigate the new CBA and find out just how much they can offer to a bucket-getter like Thomas.
Thomas averaged 22.5 points and 24.0 points per game over the past two seasons, respectively. There’s no doubt about his scoring ability. He’s said and done all the right things to block out any noise about immaturity. This is all more an indictment on the NBA’s free agent market than it is on the Nets themselves... but it would be foolish to NOT bring back your potential star guard who’s a proven bucket, at 23 years old, on a rebuilding Nets team.
Ain’t sh*t funny about that.
