NBA Free Agency: Top 4 RFAs Who Remain Unsigned
While almost all of the big-name unrestricted free agents have found a home this summer in the NBA, there are a number of notable RFAs who remain unsigned. Let's have a look at the top four (in no particular order):
Cam Thomas, Brooklyn Nets
The 24-year-old, whose scoring has exploded the past two seasons in Brooklyn with a starting role, is seeking a $100 million contract over four years. He averaged 24 points per game last season, though only managed to suit up for 25 contests due to injury. He added 3.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game.
But it doesn't sound like the Nets are coming anywhere close to that number for Thomas. In fact, the two sides are about $70 million apart.
The Nets’ offer to Cam Thomas is a two-year, $14.1 million-per-year deal with a team option, per @JakeLFischer

Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report reports that they have offered Thomas a two-year, $28.2 million deal ($14.1 million AAV).
But, "I don't think there's any other suitors for him out there right now."
Josh Giddey, Chicago Bulls
Despite the $70M gap between Brooklyn and Thomas, Fischer actually calls the Giddey negotiations with Chicago even more strained.

Giddey, who earned $6.8 million annually on his last deal, is looking for $30M a year on a new contract.
Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State Warriors
The latest update on his situation was revealed earlier on Thursday, as two teams remain active in trying to find a deal to land the former No. 7 overall pick. But the Warriors haven't been cooperating.
Quentin Grimes, Philadelphia 76ers
Grimes, who exploded upon arriving in Philly to the tune of 21.9 ppg over 28 games—doubling his career average—along with 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists, is also at a stalemate with the Sixers, as he eyes about $25M a year, and his contract situation is not expected to be resolved until later in the summer. But as noted by Ky Carlin in Sixers Wire, "the market has dried up" for him, meaning that the Sixers "are negotiating against themselves at this point".
