Cam Thomas has signed the qualifying offer with the Nets, meaning his time in Brooklyn is likely coming to an end. Thomas is betting on himself in unrestricted free agency next offseason. The Portland Trail Blazers are one of at least ten teams projected to have significant cap space in the summer of 2026, giving them a golden opportunity to land Thomas.
Perhaps he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause to come over to Portland prior to February's trade deadline as well. If that does happen, the Blazers wouldn't have to sacrifice many valuable assets to acquire him, as the alternative for Brooklyn would be to let him walk for nothing this summer.
