Mere minutes after the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline had passed, the Brooklyn Nets made a surprising decision to reshape their roster and end a five-year tenure with their guard. The Nets, unable to find a trade partner, decided to waive Cam Thomas and let him find a new team. He’s free to sign with any contender as a free agent. It marks the end of a relationship that apparently take a bad turn in late January, specifically when Thomas was pulled against the Celtics on Jan. 23 for refusing to shoot as the shot clock ran down, according to ESPN. It was a stunning way to end the Thomas era, as there were many reports of interested parties in acquiring him, particularly the Milwaukee Bucks to pair him with two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
