Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas is reportedly likely to take the qualifying offer from the Nets and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
This year’s NBA restricted free agents are having a tough time receiving appealing deals.

One of the players who hasn’t signed a contract after his rookie deal expired is Brooklyn Nets scoring machine Cam Thomas, whom the Nets are not ready to commit a huge contract to.
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, this might lead to Thomas agreeing to a qualifying offer from the Nets this summer, allowing him to freely choose his next career destination as an unrestricted free agent.
"Brooklyn has not made an aggressive effort to retain Thomas on any long-term deal," Fischer reported.
"Sources also say Thomas is showing increasing interest in playing out next season on a $6 million qualifier for the right to enjoy true free agency next summer," he added.
While injuries limited him last season, Thomas was electric when healthy. He averaged 24.0 points in 25 games, shooting 43.8% from the field and 34.9% from three.
Over four seasons with Brooklyn, he’s posted a career average of 15.1 points per game.
