Report: Nets haven't \
The Brooklyn Nets have had an interesting offseason thus far as they selected five players in the 2025 NBA Draft and traded for forward Michael Porter Jr. in the early days of free-agency. At this point, Brooklyn has one game left in the Las Vegas Summer League to evaluate players, but it looks like they haven't come to the table for one of their most important players. "Sources say that the Nets, in fact, have yet to even significantly engage their own restricted free agent: Scoring guard Cam Thomas," NBA insider Jake Fischer wrote during his latest article on the restricted free-agent (RFA) market. As of this writing, RFAs like Thomas, Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, and Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey have yet to be signed despite all coming off solid seasons. While Thomas is one of the best players on Brooklyn's roster heading into the 2025-26 season, the Nets could also be playing matters close to the vest given what the free-agent market looks like right now. Thomas being restricted gives the Nets leverage in the situation as they can match an offer that he receives from another team, but it seems like those offers are not coming in due to most teams not having much cap space to work with. Thomas, 23, is coming off the best season of his four-year career as he averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 43.8% from the field and 34.9% from three-point land. The main issue for Thomas is that he is entering restricted free-agency during a time where most teams don't have the cap space to pry him away from the Nets and the best season of his career came in just a 25-game sample size. ESPN's Tim MacMahon said recently in his appearance on "The Brooklyn Boys" podcast that Thomas is ready to sign his new contract, but Brooklyn is not in as much of a rush to do so. Over the course of the 2024-25 season, Thomas was one of 19 players to average at least 24.0 points and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 43.8% from the field.

Is Nick Robertson Worth A Look From The Penguins? One of the stated goals of Pittsburgh Penguins' GM and POHO Kyle Dubas at the end of the 2024-25 was to begin the "execution" phase of the organization's rebuild. He said part of that "execution" would, likely, involve young RFAs that other teams other couldn't afford or who needed a change of scenery. 6:04 Now Playing Paused Ad Playing
