Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas is drawing trade interest from the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline, league sources told HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
Nets Were Part Of Three-Team Trade
Brooklyn now has 21 second-round picks through 2032 after Wednesday’s three-team trade.
The Los Angeles Clippers, Toronto Raptors, and Nets agreed on a deal to send Chris Paul to the Raptors and Ochai Agbaji, a 2032 Raptors second-rounder, and cash to Brooklyn, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The Nets are absorbing Agbaji’s salary with their $15.3 million in cap space, leaving them with $8.9 million. The Nets, however, will need to create a roster spot for this trade.
Thomas, who is in his fifth NBA season, is averaging 15.6 points on 39.9% shooting from the field (32.5% from 3-point range), 3.1 assists, and 24.3 minutes per game.
The 6-foot-3 guard has been limited to 24 games (eight starts) this season due to a left hamstring strain.
This has been another disappointing season for Thomas, who also suffered a season-ending left hamstring strain in March of 2025. The former first-round pick appeared in just 25 games (23 starts) last season.
When healthy, Thomas is among the best shooting guards in the league.
Cavaliers, Bucks Targeting Cam Thomas
The Cavaliers could add Thomas after trading Darius Garland to the Los Angeles Clippers for James Harden, as they’re still seeking to win their first NBA title without LeBron James.
Milwaukee, however, might not be the best destination for Thomas due to uncertainty.
League insiders are expecting the Bucks to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo at some point between now and the June draft. Sources have suggested that the Greek Freak has already played his last game in a Bucks uniform.
Contrary to rumors, the Nets haven’t called the Bucks to joined in on the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes. It’s unclear what’s taking place behind closed doors, though.
“Sources told The Post that — contrary to reports — the Nets have not called Milwaukee about the Greek superstar,” Brian Lewis of The New York Post revealed Monday.
“For years, Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks hoarded assets in case Antetokounmpo ever decided he wanted to leave Milwaukee and was made available.”
Brooklyn could package Thomas, Michael Porter Jr., Danny Wolf, and multiple draft picks in a trade deal for Giannis. It all boils down to which team will be able to win the bidding war.
The Nets could be that team if they’re serious about acquiring the two-time MVP.
