The reason Cam Thomas and Quentin Grimes could leave Nets and Sixers

The 2025 NBA Free Agency has been ongoing for over a month now. Specifically, 1 month and 9 days. Since July 1st, both Cam Thomas and Quentin Grimes have become restricted free agents. However, they have yet to reach any agreement with their teams, the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. Nevertheless, the resolution seems to be near.

As reported by NBA Rumors insider Jake Fischer from Bleacher Report, both Cam Thomas and Quentin Grimes plan at this stage to accept their respective qualifying offers. What does this mean? It implies they will play one more year with their teams but become unrestricted free agents in the summer of 2026.

Fischer mentions that Cam Thomas and the Nets are far from reaching a new deal. Brooklyn has not offered Thomas the salary or contract length he has requested. The New York franchise understands the importance of not falling into the trap of offering excessively high salaries in the NBA.

On the other hand, Grimes and the Sixers seem to be closer, but they also have not finalized an agreement. Philadelphia emphasizes that their priority is for the player to renew this summer with a long-term contract, yet they disagree on the financial terms.
