If there is a subplot in the trade deadline drama that is the Brooklyn Nets, it’s whether Cam Thomas should get a starting slot, whether the mercurial Thomas gets more time, more opportunities.
Jacque Vaughn seems intent on having the 21-year-old guard play the microwave role off the bench. The Nets have become notoriously slow starters, going down early and staying there as they did vs. the Bulls, falling behind 11-0, then 14-5, on their way to a historically bad 44-point loss in the Windy City. It was the second 40-point loss in February. They lost by 43 to the Celtics in the last game of the Clean Sweep era back on February 1.
