The Nets have exercised their crew choices for 2025/26 on 4 gamers, the crew introduced right now (Twitter hyperlink by way of Michael Scotto of HoopsHype). These gamers, together with their choice salaries, are as follows:
Crucially, Brooklyn’s resolution to choose up these choices does not imply that each one 4 gamers now have absolutely assured salaries.
As outlined on our crew choice resolution tracker, Johnson will obtain a partial assure price about $272K, whereas Wilson will obtain on price roughly $88K. Martin’s and Timme’s salaries stay solely non-guaranteed.
Johnson and Wilson will see their partial ensures improve in the event that they make the common season roster, however Martin and Timme will stay non-guaranteed till January, so exercising these choices doesn’t actually have an effect on the Nets’ cap flexibility in any respect. They may at all times waive a number of of those gamers down the street whereas retaining little to no wage on their cap.
Johnson, Wilson, and Martin every earned common minutes in 2024/25 for a rebuilding Nets crew. Johnson, a 6’5″ capturing guard, emerged as a starter in December after Cam Thomas went down with a hamstring damage, averaging 10.6 factors, 3.8 rebounds, and a pair of.2 assists in 24.4 minutes per sport throughout 79 appearances (56 begins) on the season.
Wilson, a 6’8″ ahead, put up 9.5 PPG, 3.4 RPG, and 1.8 APG in 25.7 MPG, beginning 22 of his 79 outings. Martin, a 6’6″ wing, averaged 8.7 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and a pair of.0 APG in 21.9 MPG throughout 60 video games (11 begins).
Timme, a former Gonzaga massive man, earned a late-season promotion from the G League and noticed loads of motion down the stretch, registering averages of 12.1 PPG, 7.2 RPG, and a pair of.2 APG in 9 video games (28.2 MPG).
Counting their 4 gamers on assured contracts, their 5 first-round picks, incoming commerce acquisition Terance Mann, and these 4 gamers with choices, the Nets have already got 14 gamers on their books for 2025/26. That checklist doesn’t embrace restricted free brokers Thomas, Day’Ron Sharpe, and Ziaire Williams, or anybody else the Nets may add utilizing their vital cap room within the coming days or perhaps weeks.
In different phrases, there probably gained’t be sufficient spots to go round for everybody, so I wouldn’t depend on all 4 of those gamers opening the season on Brooklyn’s 15-man roster.
