Cam Thomas thinks he is worth 40 million a year

[AleksandarN]

Any bet he takes the qualifying other and then gets only mid level contracts going forward.

I think when getting paid on potential it matters a lot where you were drafted as well. If Cam was a former lottery pick I think teams would be willing to pay a bit more than IQ or Green.

Using bad contracts to make your “case” won’t end well for him.

What an idiot.

Has he not learned the lessons of Dennis schroder or Nerlens Noel

[azcatz11]

He’s a minimum player. By far the worst archetype. Micro guard who’s not a good 3 point shooter. My guess is he follows Cole Anthony path

[NotAKnicksFan]

Not mad at him , cause hes pretty close to them

But its not gonna work in this climate

[brackdan70]

I mean those are all fair comparables, but like others have mentioned they are bad contracts.
He’s up against a tighter financial atmosphere with the new CBA as well. He won’t ever get a 40 million dollar/ year deal unless he takes a huge jump. Maybe his next contract but not this one. Good luck.

Times have changed with the new CBA and there is going to be half dozen to a dozen guys who get paid way less than they think they deserve before the rest of the league young guys realize money isn’t going to be handed out like it was previously.

The NBA union and the way the CBA is constructed influence mediocre players to overvalue themselves.

He's gonna sign his QO. Then let's see what he gets next summer. My guess is MLE somewhere.

Thank goodness NBA GMs are getting smarter. These chucker type of players, near scrubs if they can't/don't score, should earn $10M or below.

Schroeder was the first thing I thought.

I think this is just a negotiating tactic by his agent to get the best possible contract for Thomas.

You're probably not getting paid on potential when you're an undersized and unathletic 2 guard that can't defend, that would be the case even if he were a top 5 pick.

It's a stupid strategy. You saw the deals in this off season and thought 40 mil was out there.

[Infinite Llamas]

Anfernee Simons making 110 million by the age of 26 is pretty wild though. Rozier has made 160 million in his career. Jordan Poole will be at 160 when his contract is done in two years. We are really witnessing the end of an era here.

[Wallace_Wallace]

He’s one of the few old school players in the 90s/00s. Back then teams love these kind of chuckers, he would have gotten a max contract for sure.

[fast+forward]

Why would he lowball himself?

Yeah, and I think I deserve Sydney Sweeney as my girlfriend. Problem is, she thinks otherwise.
