The Brooklyn Nets have plenty of decisions to make this offseason as they seek to significantly improve the roster before the beginning of the 2025-26 NBA season. Brooklyn not only has to think about who they will be taking in the 2025 NBA Draft, but they also have to worry about what they will do in free-agency.

“Several sources have indicated he’s likely to command a deal as high as $100 million over four years, well in with first rank shooting guards at his age,” NetsDaily reported on what Nets guard Cam Thomas is expected to earn in free-agency this summer. Thomas is a restricted free-agent this summer after spending his first four seasons in Brooklyn after being taken with the 27th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft out of LSU.

“Moreover, those same sources see Thomas signing as a priority for the Nets,” NetsDaily continued. “Because of the Nets monopoly on cap space and the new CBA, the Nets aren’t likely to have much competition for him.” Many around the NBA have weighed in on what Thomas should command on the free-agent market, but it seems that he’s likely to sign for somewhere between $20 million and $25 million per season.

One fact to consider for anyone predicting Thomas’ next contract is that he is a restricted free-agent, meaning that the Nets have more leverage than they would with an unrestricted free-agent thanks to the offer sheet matching mechanic. Granted, if a rival team wants Thomas bad enough, they could put forth an offer that Brooklyn may not want to match and Thomas would be playing with that team as a result.

However, unless something significantly changes between now and when free-agency is in full-swing, the Nets are one of few teams that would be able to offer Thomas more than the Non-taxpayer Mid-Level Exception (NTMLE) of $14.105 million. Given the nature of how most teams won’t be able to spend much money in free-agency this summer, Thomas could opt to sign with Brooklyn for the financial security.
