In interviews with Erik Slater of Clutch Points and Mike Scotto of Hoopshype, Cam Thomas made it clear he sees the Brooklyn Nets as his team now following the trade of Mikal Bridges and he intends to assert himself as team leader. And while Sean Marks made have told ESPN on the weekend that the Nets are in a “little bit of rebuilding” Thomas steers clear of the word and the idea.
The interviews, conducted in Las Vegas, make it clear that Thomas sees his next steps clearly but says he has put aside his rookie contract extension and instead focus on what he can do to prove himself.
