Cam Thomas
September 2025
Cam Thomas accepted Brooklyn’s one-year, $6m qualifying offer, rejecting bigger multi-year deals to become unrestricted in 2026. His decision could shape Jonathan Kuminga’s contract saga, as both young players weigh short-term pay against long-term leverage. Thomas declined a two-year $30m contract with a team option and another one-year $9.5m deal with incentives. His self-bet sets precedent for Kuminga, who is considering rejecting Golden State’s $45m offer to follow a similar path into free agency.
