Extensions unlikely for Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas?
Michael Scotto: As of today, I don’t see Cam Thomas and the Nets agreeing to a contract extension, but it’s a situation I’ll certainly monitor all summer. I think Mikal Bridges will wait as well. Brian Lewis: Yeah, I’d put that at less than 50 percent.

Erik Slater: Asked Mikal Bridges what he sees as the difference between his finish last year and this year: “I didn’t have the right headspace… I wasn’t as strong and positive as I should’ve been… Towards the end, being so beat up mentally and lacking confidence, I think that hurt me.” pic.twitter.com/ZIveFiHYbZ -via Twitter @erikslater_ / April 15, 2024
Erik Slater: Cam Johnson speaking on Mikal Bridges’ struggles late in the year: “It was a team-wide thing… There’s no worry, there’s no doubt [about Mikal]. People are so quick to go, ‘Oh, maybe he’s not who we thought he was.’ But he’s only getting better, and I got full faith in him.” pic.twitter.com/3BcCgqPvQp -via Twitter @erikslater_ / April 15, 2024
Michael Scotto: Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas on Most Improved Player of the Year: “I should definitely be top three. Going from barely playing in the rotation and having little spurts to going all the way up to averaging an 11-point jump to 22 points a game. Any other year, that goes noticed.” pic.twitter.com/XWRqmy761s -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / April 15, 2024
Brian Lewis: Cam Thomas on #Nets habit of folding vs. other team’s runs: “We can’t really start trying to change everything…We have to stick to the gameplan. We can’t panic. We’ve got to calm down.” -via Twitter @NYPost_Lewis / April 15, 2024
Erik Slater: Asked Cam Thomas if he had doubts about whether he’d ever be a core piece for the Nets after his first two seasons: “No, not really… I always believe in myself… Sometimes it’s just timing… I love it here. I got drafted here, so I’ll always have a place for it.” pic.twitter.com/2SPMVCfipd -via Twitter @erikslater_ / April 15, 2024
