Cam Thomas is the same as Kumingga, and it is also in the contract year, but it has not reached an agreement with the team.

Cam Thomas played 25 games for the Nets last season, averaging 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting percentage of 43.8% and three-point shooting percentage of 34.9%. The data is quite good. This is his fourth season with the Nets. Like Kumingga's case, it was also a contract year, but it was not agreed to have an agreement with the team.

Kuminga asked for an annual salary of 30 million, but at least it was the No. 7 pick that year. I have seen some potential in recent years. The Warriors once offered him a five-year contract of 150 million yuan, but he directly refused.

But Thomas asked for a five-year contract of 162 million yuan, isn't he too much treating the Nets as a sucker? According to Brett Siegel, a reporter from US media Clutch Points, Nets star Cameron Thomas asked for a five-year, $162 million contract, but the Nets were only willing to pay an annual salary of $15 million. The two sides had a big difference, and Thomas was likely to accept a qualification offer and return to the Nets.

Kuminga's qualification contract is 7.9 million yuan per year, but Thomas' qualification contract is 5.99 million yuan per year. Both of them are representative players who are not satisfied with the human heart. Maybe both of them will return with a qualification contract and then wait for the free market to open next year.

These two people have similarities when playing basketball. They both know how to do it when they get the ball. They only have the basket in their eyes. They do have the ability to score, but they are not top-notch. Kumingga's defense is actually average. Thomas is a complete burden on the defensive end. This guy is really playing for the data, but in recent years, the Nets seem to have to be able to make the data. If he goes to a competitive team, his data will definitely decline a lot. After all, if he wants to play in the playoffs, the key is to be able to defend the role players.

In fact, this year's free market is very unfriendly to free agents. Most teams do not have salary space. The bosses seem to have a tacit understanding this offseason, and they strengthened themselves on the basis of not paying luxury taxes. Except for the Rockets, they are all signing small-scale deals.

The reason is also very clear. The first is that the influential stars are all relatively old. Super giants such as Jandukuha have entered the end of their careers, and they are expensive and cannot guarantee that they win the championship.

The second is that the Thunder and Pacers who played in the Finals last season did not pay the luxury tax for small ball markets, and their success was all about taking advantage of rookies. So now I am unwilling to consume future assets at all, and now I am tightly preparing for the future.

The third is that even if you don't strengthen, the team will still remain competitive. Look at the West, which team is weak? So it may not be possible to have no chance for the championship. After all, the lineup is complete and no injuries are the most important. Now they are all the championships in the year, so they don’t have the same style. Maybe the league will start to praise you next season and give you a whistle.

Continue to talk about the Nets, they will definitely not give Thomas a maximum salary. They just got rid of Simmons, a big guy, but they don't want to have another junk contract. Thomas is probably not in the Nets' future plans. They are still focusing on cultivating new players. They have selected 5 rookies in one go this year, and next year is another recognized year of draft picks. I guess I am still waiting for the cornerstone of the team building, but I don’t know when I will wait? This year, Deming was selected as a tall point guard (2.07 meters) in the 8th pick, and it feels quite average.

The Nets' management felt really chaotic. Back then, the Big Three made a rookie, Nash, as the head coach, and they have also failed in recent years. Every deal feels like a loss, and the rookie has not been cultivated. Is it necessary to choose five at once this year? There is no cornerstone for the team building?
