While the vast majority of the most prominent unrestricted free agents have already found a destination this summer, there are still several important names among the restricted free agents (RFA) who have not signed. Here are the four most relevant cases (in no specific order).
Cam Thomas (Brooklyn Nets)
The 24-year-old shooting guard has emerged as a scorer in the last two seasons with the Nets, thanks to his starting role. In the 2024/25 season, he averaged 24 points per game, although he only played 25 games due to injuries. He also added 3.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds per night.
Thomas is asking for a $100 million contract for four years, but the reality is that Brooklyn is nowhere near that figure. According to Jake Fischer (Bleacher Report), both parties are separated by about $70 million.
In fact, the Nets have only offered $28.2 million for two seasons (an average of $14.1M yearly). Additionally, Fischer points out, "There don't seem to be any other teams interested in him at this time."
Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls)
Although Thomas' situation already seems complex, Fischer assures that the negotiations between Giddey and the Bulls are even more tense.
The Australian was making $6.8 million per season in his previous contract, but he is now asking for $30 million annually in his new deal. So far, there have been no significant breakthroughs, and the positions are very far apart.
Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors)
The situation of the small forward remains uncertain. According to the latest reports, there are two teams still active trying to finalize a trade to acquire the former 7th overall pick in the Draft, but the Warriors are not cooperating, and there don't seem to be any concrete advances.
Kuminga remains in a contractual limbo as his future is being decided.
Quentin Grimes (Philadelphia 76ers)
Grimes shined after arriving in Philadelphia, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 28 games, nearly double his previous numbers.
However, he also finds himself at an impasse with the Sixers. According to Ky Carlin (Sixers Wire), his contractual situation is not expected to be resolved until well into the summer. Furthermore, the journalist states, "The market has dried up" for Grimes, which means that Philadelphia is effectively negotiating against itself.
