Love the thumbnail I was at that Mets game when Cam Thomas throw the first pitch. The Mets are 1-0 when the Cam Thomas throws the first pitch 😂😂😂

I really do enjoy hearing some the comments from the younger players on our Nets Roster. Whether it be Cam Thomas, Noah Clowney, Nick Claxton, Jalen Wilson. All these guys are focused on the game trying to grow individually as well as build team chemistry to ensure success. Listening to the pod is always a joy, thank you Adam & Doug. One more thing, not sure if you guys saw last nights Net's Summer League game, but it was a great performance. One thing that stood out to me besides all the wonderful things we've saw from Jalen Wilson and Keon Johnson was Noah Clowney shooting last night. His shooting form looks crisp man, excited to see how this translate during the regular season.

Nets just got another 2nd round pick alongside former #10 overall pick Ziaire Williams.

[Njnetsman]

When Cam thomas started last year, he proved he was the Nets best player. Way better than overrated Bridges. Can't wait to see what he can do with a full year of starting and away from the worst coach last year in Vaughn.

[s.raia]

Let’s talk about Jalen Wilson more lol

[jaymanjay.]

I would be a huge fan of the nets re-signing cam Thomas to a team friendly deal that makes sense I think four years 90 million makes a lot of sense. Or then, the next would want to play him at this point, but just enough to get Thomas the bite and then you might have a player that extremely underpaid over four years similar to the type of contract that the suns gave bridges that became extremely valueable.

However, based on Mark‘s sentiments regarding the next space, it’s clear that that is a priority for this year and they only have about 7 million away from the luxury tax so in order to sign Thomas to an extension, you probably wanna move off of Cam Johnson, like Doug said or one of the veteran contracts That you have on the roster

[nafisstewart]

With watford getting time this year hopefully do we think he can be a Ben Simmons for cam that can shoot??

[shaolin]

Do we know our starting lineup? Also should Trendon Watford start along side Cam?

[BeyondTheNetsPod]

I honestly can’t see Dariq Whitehead in our future. Idk. But Jalen Wilson, Clowney, Cam Thomas, could potentially be a big three. Might be a stretch but that’s what I see for Brooklyn

[letapragas]

Last season, the nets, completely unraveled after we threw the Bucks game. A lack of effort is absolutely a thing.

[RayJ]

If Cam Thomas develops into the type of combo guard that legitimately play full time point guard and average 5 or 6 assists a game then that just raises his ceiling even higher.

[almac]

They should make him an offer 4 years $80m. Don't have him go off and tgen have to pay him huge money!

[chirocket]

Players don't tank, so sure Cam wants to win games. So do the other players.

[peterrahn]

Is the over/under seriously 19 games? That’s the easiest over play.

[stifflersmom]

Nets need to be on the phone with the Lakers. Try to swing a DFS for Dalton Knecht trade. Lakers have no use for a young player.

[stu]

Cam T lead the Nets? In what? Field goal attempts?

[Mr.Nets_]

NO!! Have him ride the bike all season hopefully he doesn’t get hurt 😅

[grospipo]

What are the chances that Cam thomasos traded by the trade deadline?….

[clashbandicoot]

Whitehead is a total bust. Write him off until 2026

[lackingagenda]

Cam t and leadership hmm... I mean he is young and neither a good defender to be a defensive leader on the court, he isn't really a good play maybe for a floor general like leadership. Style wise the dude is as dull as at times, and isn't a Jose energy like leader.

I just don't know too if you are allocated a locker leadership thing, that comes naturally. Does anyone ever ask for that or are they just naturally those, so I just don't get how he is to be a leader of any kind other than a scoring leader just numbers wise
