Cam Thomas’ monthslong standoff with the Nets is finally over, with the restricted free agent signing the qualifying offer to stay in Brooklyn.

It’s a case of Thomas and the Nets failing to reach an agreement on a new deal, and Thomas betting on himself.

Again.

By exercising the one-year, $5.99 million qualifying offer, Thomas left considerable money on the table in hopes of getting more next summer as an unrestricted free agent.

Did he also signal that his tenure in Brooklyn could be coming to a close?

The news — first reported by ESPN and confirmed by The Post — comes after a lengthy contract standoff between the Nets and their leading scorer.

The Post first reported that Brooklyn had given Thomas a qualifying offer.

But a source familiar with the guard’s thinking said he didn’t consider himself inferior to Immanuel Quickley, Tyler Herro or RJ Barrett “so he could want $30 million, too.”

Instead, he was offered roughly half of that.

And now will play for a fifth of that.

The Nets offered Thomas a two-year, $30 million deal with a team option for the second year, or a one-year, $9.5 million pact with incentives up to $11 million, while waiving the no-trade clause, according to ESPN.

Thomas’ agents, Octagon’s Alex Saratsis and Ron Shade, rejected both.

Now Thomas will try to get more a year from now.

That’s no sure thing.

Thomas has vastly outperformed his draft slot — taken 27th by the Nets back in 2021 — in averaging a team-high 24.0 points last season on 44/35/88 splits.

But he was a middling playmaker, porous defender and often injured, playing just 25 games due to repeated hamstring woes.

The 23-year-old has fans at the highest level in the Nets front office, but does not have a robust market around the NBA, according to numerous scouts and league executives who spoke with the Post.

No team has cap space to sign Thomas this summer.

He can still be traded, but would have to approve any deal.

While Thomas is a preternaturally talented isolation scorer, the league is moving away from those sort of one-dimensional guards and leaning into quick-processing court-mappers.

That was apparent in the NBA Finals, and was also clear in both the words and deeds of Nets GM Sean Marks on draft night.

He picked three point guards in the first round (Egor Dëmin, Nolan Traore, and Ben Saraf), as well as a fourth player who served as his team’s primary playmaker (Danny Wolf).

They apparently have a new “type,” and it sounds like Thomas may not be it.

“Yeah, that goes hand in hand with IQ, and how they play the game,” Marks said of the style of play the Nets want. “Very quick decisions. It’s 0.5-second basketball, you catch and make a decision. You don’t hold the ball.”
