"Free agent guard Cam Thomas has agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks , his agent Tony Ronzone of Wasserman tells ESPN. Thomas, 24, averaged 21.4 points per game over the last three seasons with the Nets ," Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The Nets were trying to trade Thomas at the deadline, but it seems like they couldn't find they deal they wanted for him. That led them to waiving him, and several teams reportedly had interest in signing him.
Head coach Jordi Fernandez spoke about Thomas being waived by the team.
"That's probably a question for management, because my job is to coach the team on the floor," Fernandez said. "Obviously, there's communication between management and the coaching staff, and we're on the same page, but I'm not going to speak for Sean [Marks]. When Cam was here, he was part of us, he wore our jersey, he played hard, and competed. The only thing I can say is thanks for all the time he spent with us… I've already told you guys what type of player I thought that I wanted to see. He always worked and tried and was a teammate here. Now it's exciting for him to start somewhere else. We just wish him luck and say thanks for wearing our jersey."
