Cam Thomas went viral for snapping at NBA analyst Zach Lowe , who said that the Brooklyn Nets guard is viewed as a ball hog and not a team player.
And most recently, one Brooklyn Nets coach sided with Thomas, saying that Lowe’s ridiculous take is far from the truth, as the team “loves” him as a player and a person.
“We love Cam. We think he’s one of the best scoring guards in the league, and an underrated playmaker. We’ll see what happens, but our feelings about Cam as a player and person have never wavered. We love him,” the anonymous Brooklyn Nets coach told Spotrac’s Keith Smith.
Thomas remains a restricted free agent, as he hasn’t signed a new deal with the Brooklyn Nets this offseason. If he does leave the team, at least it’s not on bad terms.
The Brooklyn Nets traded for Michael Porter Jr. and Terance Mann earlier this offseason, and an anonymous front office exec strongly believes they’re great fits for the squad.
“We’re transitioning our roster, of course. We’re going to play a lot of young players. But we need some vets to balance that. And, of course, we need to score some points,” the exec said.
“Porter will help us a ton there. I’m not saying he’ll win the scoring title, but I think it could be close. And Terance will help with everything. He’s such a good connector. He’s going to help our young ballhandlers a ton with learning the NBA,” he concluded.
