Cam Thomas may have finally found a suitor.

Mike Scotto of Hoopshype reports Saturday in his reporting that the Milwaukee Bucks have interest in the Nets shooting guard who (coincidently or not) had his best game in weeks Friday night, scoring 21 points off the bench and being one of the team’s leaders in a win. After missing 20 games to a hamstring strain, Thomas is now coming off the bench. For the season, he’s averaging 16.1 points and 3.3 assists in 18 games with shooting splits of 40/32/85 shooting splits.

While trade talks surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo have garnered all the league’s attention, the Milwaukee Bucks have explored other smaller moves. 

With that in mind, Cam Thomas and D’Angelo Russell are both on Milwaukee’s radar contingent on other deals the Bucks are working on, league sources told HoopsHype.

Thomas, a proven bucket getter that averaged 22.9 points in 91 combined games in his prior two seasons, would potentially be useful for the Bucks, who rank fourth-worst in points per game (111.8). It’s worth noting that Thomas has a no-trade clause and would need to approve of any trade.

Thomas, of course, exercised his team option back in September, turning down a two-year $30 million (with second year a team option or a one-year, $9.5 million a deal. The whole process a seemingly signaled that he’d like to move on after four tumultuous seasons in Brooklyn. Thomas is making $6.0 million this season but because he exercised the option, he must approve any trade. If the Nets do not trade him or waive him, they will still have his Bird Rights as an unrestricted free agent.

The 24-year-old trade market has been devalued for a variety of reasons, some related to his style of play and now his health. In the last year and a half he’s missed 73 games to hamstring strains. Indeed, NetsDaily was told that the Nets didn’t receive a single trade offer last summer for Thomas.
