Top 3 Landing Spots for Top Trade Candidate Cam Thomas

The Brooklyn Nets will continue their rebuild this season, and the biggest trade chip on the roster, top scorer Cam Thomas, is drawing all sorts of interest around the league.

We have word on a frontrunner, and the other contenders as landing spots for the 24.6 PPG scorer, and pending restricted free agent.

The Milwaukee Bucks are the favorites to land Cam Thomas in a potential trade, per @BovadaOfficial

Milwaukee Bucks +125

Per @BovadaOfficial, the Milwaukee Bucks are the odds-on favorites at +125, as a team with serious designs on adding a 3rd star to take the pressure off Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. The Bucks could really use some defensive help on the perimeter, which Thomas does not provide, but who knows, adding another 25-point scorer to go with Giannis and Dame could make them unstoppable.

Los Angeles Lakers +275

The Lakers have been linked to a number of potential 3rd-star type players since the offseason, and Thomas will come cheaper than the likes of a Kyle Kuzma or a Brandon Ingram. LeBron, AD & Co. are just one game out of the top spot in the Western Conference, but they'll need to beef up their secondary scoring to make themselves a true title contender. Their bench unit is second-last in scoring in the NBA. Thomas would rectify that immediately.

Denver Nuggets +325

Like the Lakers, the Nuggets need a big blast of scoring from the bench, as their second unit has been whittled away the past couple of years with the losses of Bruce Brown and then Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Thomas would be a huge boon for Denver's bench unit, and keep their championship window open.
