Cam Thomas is now with the Milwaukee Bucks, but just because he’s no longer with the Brooklyn Nets, it doesn’t mean that he’s not grabbing attention for something related to his former team.
Thomasturned heads recently when he said the Nets “don’t believe in nobody.”
“I never asked. I don’t even care anymore,” Thomas added. ”I’m on a different team. I don’t want to talk about them much. But that’s what it was. They didn’t believe. Always thought — I don’t know. They always thought something was better, I guess. I don’t know. Always chasing something.”
Nets coach issues response to Bucks guard Thomas’ blunt take
Thomas’ comment has apparently reached Brooklyn head coach Jordi Fernandez, who had nothing but good things to say about the former Nets shooting guard.
ViaNets reporter Erik Slater of ClutchPoints:
Jordi Fernandez’s response to Cam Thomas saying that the Nets “don’t believe in nobody”:
“We wish Cam the best. We loved him while he was here. We hope that he does very well where he is. I don’t know if he has the right to speak about others. We’re happy with the guys we have here. I believe that everybody here can help us with what we have planned.”
Fernandez does not want to add more controversy to what Thomas said about his team, opting to take the high road instead.
The Nets are not having a terrific season, but Fernandez is focused on continuing to develop Brooklyn into becoming a serious playoff contender down the road.
Thomas spent his first four-plus seasons in the NBA with the Nets, and during that time, he averaged 15.2 points in 239 games played (including 88 starts).
