Nets pivot to asset-building, waive Cam Thomas to chase 2026 lottery talent

Brooklyn shifted from a quick-win mindset to an asset-building plan at the trade deadline, waiving Cam Thomas (and Tyrese Martin) and making several small moves to add young players (Ochai Agbaji, Hunter Tyson, Josh Minott), exchange seconds, and send cash to create cap space. They acquired six future picks (two firsts, four seconds) and ended up younger, more athletic, with a higher payroll and about $20 million in dead money this season. The strategy centers on developing talent and using cap space to pursue a generational 2026 draft pick rather than chasing immediate wins, with the aim of landing a top prospect in the lottery.【Sources summarize Nets trades and waivers as part of a long-term rebuild plan】

Nets cut Cam Thomas loose as deadline passes, sending him to free agency

The Brooklyn Nets waived guard Cam Thomas after the NBA trade deadline, ending his stint with the team as he hits free agency. After turning down two contract offers, Thomas signed the qualifying offer but remained sidelined by injuries and eventually lost his starting role, with little market interest cited as he searches for a new NBA home; Kevin Durant publicly supported Thomas during the process.

Nets move to waive Cam Thomas, freeing him to chase a new team

Brooklyn Nets are waiving guard Cam Thomas after the trade deadline, allowing the 24-year-old to sign with another team for the rest of the season.

Cavs weigh Cam Thomas as potential bench-scoring boost ahead of deadline

The Cavaliers are reportedly eyeing Brooklyn guard Cam Thomas to add scoring off the bench, with talks suggesting a possible trade via a $6.9M trade exception or other pieces; Thomas, a 24-year-old guard who averages 15.6 points and 3.1 assists in limited minutes, has durability questions and may not slide into minutes behind Donovan Mitchell/Harden and Dennis Schroder, making the move potentially part of a larger deal before Thursday's deadline.

Cam Thomas scores 40 points as the Brooklyn Nets defeat the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 136-121. The Nets snapped a nine-game losing streak against the 76ers, with Philadelphia missing Joel Embiid due to injury. Thomas has been averaging 36.3 points in his last four games and capitalized on the defensive attention he drew. The 76ers were also without Tobias Harris, Nicolas Batum, DeAnthony Melton, and Robert Covington. The Nets' crisp ball movement and three-point shooting proved too much for the short-handed 76ers.
