It’s been nearly a month since NBA free agency began. Nonetheless, Quentin Grimes and the Philadelphia 76ers are yet to make any headway on a new contract. Many fans have grown frustrated with the lack of progress. But, if you look at what the Brooklyn Nets reportedly offered Cam Thomas, you’ll understand why these talks are dragging on.
Yesterday, on Bleacher Report, Jake Fischer revealed that Brooklyn offered Thomas a two-year deal with a team option that would pay him $14.1 million per season. No matter how you feel about him, a player of his offensive caliber would’ve likely have gotten paid at least $20 million per year before the new Collective Bargaining Agreement that was implemented in 2023.
