Nets waiving Cam Thomas in long-awaited divorce
NY Post
The Cam Thomas era is over in Brooklyn.
The Nets waived Thomas after Thursday’s NBA trade deadline passed, letting the 24-year-old enter free agency.
After the Post had reported on Jan. 19 that Brooklyn and Thomas were headed for a divorce, ESPN was the first to report that the team had made it official.
Thomas was averaging 15.6 points.
After Brooklyn had offered Thomas multiple deals this summer — a two-year, $30 million contract with a team option, or a one-year, $9.5 million pact with incentives up to $11 million — he rejected both. Thomas inked the $5.99 million qualifying offer, and that was the beginning of the end in Brooklyn.
Thomas suffered four left hamstring injuries since the start of last season, the latest on Nov. 5. Since his Dec. 27 return to the court, he’d lost his starting job.
