28.2 million in 2 years! Insulting quote! Just give this a little while averaging 24+3+3? The Nets bully people

Do you believe it? In this era where contracts cost 100 million yuan are flying, a new generation defender who can average 24+3+3 per game has only received a quotation for an ultra-low-price contract renewal of US$28.2 million for the old club! While we suddenly felt unbelievable, we also felt frustrated and wronged for the 23-year-old young player because he really did not get the respect he deserved.

So, who is this young man who is so unrespected by his old boss? He is Brooklyn Nets guard Cameron Thomas. This offseason, Cameron Thomas' rookie contract with the Brooklyn Nets expires. The Brooklyn Nets then offered Cameron Thomas a $6 million qualification offer, which made him a restricted free agent. In the 2024-25 season, Cameron Thomas was reimbursed in advance due to injury. Before he was injured, he played a total of 25 regular season games for the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, contributing 24 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He shot 43.8% from the field, 34.9% from three-point shooting percentage, and 88.1% from free throws.

As a new generation defender who can score 24+3+3 comprehensive data per game, Cameron Thomas is very confident in his free market prospects. He believes that he has a full chance to get a big contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan. But what Cameron Thomas never expected was that he has not received an ideal contract to this day, and he is still unwilling to do so, just like the other three restricted free agents Jonathan Cumingga, Josh Gidy and Grimes! As the restricted free agent market heat drops to freezing point, their signing prospects have become increasingly confused, which has made their respective old clubs absolutely take the initiative in the renewal negotiations.

According to famous reporter Jake Fischer, the Brooklyn Nets provided restricted free agent Cameron Thomas with a two-year contract with an average salary of only $14.1 million, which also includes the second-year team option. There is no doubt that the 2-year, 28.2 million contract renewal offer provided by the Brooklyn Nets to Cameron Thomas is extremely insulting, which is not even as high as the 30 million annual salary Thomas wants.

According to follow-up reports from famous reporter Jake Weinbach, Cameron Thomas was frustrated by his old club Brooklyn Nets' unwilling to provide him with a multi-year contract with an annual salary of more than $20 million. This kind of experience now can be said to have given him a heavy blow! As time goes by, more and more news shows that Cameron Thomas will most likely choose to accept the $6 million qualification offer provided by the Brooklyn Nets in order to become a full free agent in the summer of 2026 and then pursue the ideal big contract.

Frankly speaking, the Brooklyn Nets only offered Cameron Thomas a two-year, $28.2 million contract offer is really bullying. Even though Cameron Thomas has obvious advantages and disadvantages, even if his defense is not strong, Cameron Thomas is still a new generation defender who can score 24+3+3 per game. You have to provide a contract with an annual salary of more than 20 million yuan. It is reasonable. Now that you offer such a low contract price, you are completely unacceptable to the market price. You are bullying like this! By the way, do you think Cameron Thomas is worthy of a contract with an annual salary of more than 20 million yuan?
