Why Cam Thomas is a tailor-made fit for 29 NBA teams? Analyzing trade prospects of NBA's most intriguing scorer

Brooklyn Nets swingman Cam Thomas has garnered attention as a potential trade asset. Thomas' name has been tossed around in trade discussions as he's on an expiring deal. Now in the last year of his four-year $10 million contract, the Nets' top scorer is a highly sought-after player in the league.

Thomas has evolved into a well-rounded offensive weapon, becoming an elite scorer. He's played 17 games this season, averaging 24.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists. However, even with his development, the Nets are reportedly interested in trading him.

Why is Thomas an almost perfect fit for most teams in the league? His offensive production has become his greatest asset as he is capable of dissecting defenses.

With his improvement on the offensive end, other teams looking for a prime scorer would benefit if they acquired him. These teams could include contenders that need a scoring punch.

However, even developing teams who are one piece away from becoming a playoff team may also make a move to acquire Thomas.

What are the best trade options for Cam Thomas?

Cam Thomas is a special player and there are plenty of trade options for the Nets to explore. Here are some of the best options for him.

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are set on having Victor Wembanyama as their franchise star. However, he needs elite scorers around him who could help carry the team offensively.

Adding a player like Thomas would create a young duo with aggressiveness on both ends of the floor. With Thomas handling the business against their opponent's defenses, Wembanyama will anchor San Antonio's defense.

Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets rely heavily on LaMelo Ball to do most of the work. While Ball makes it look easy by averaging 30.0 points this season, having another scorer like Cam Thomas would take a ton of the offensive responsibility off of him.

With the former LSU star, Ball can focus more on making plays, becoming a full-time floor general. Thomas can also form a deadly scoring duo with Brandon Miller, who has gradually emerged as a top-scoring wing, averaging 21.5 points.

LA Lakers

Due to their inability to find a third shooter to complement LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the LA Lakers have had an up-and-down season. Thomas is a player the Lakers should consider, as he's a rising star who could help them rebuild once James retires.

However, LA is reportedly focused on trading for a big man who could take over the center spot from Davis.
