Overview
- The Nets and Day'Ron Sharpe agreed to delay the club's decision on his $6.25 million team option by one day to allow more time for talks and calculations.
- Brooklyn is using the extra time to decide whether to pick up the option or decline it as a cap move that could enable re-signing Sharpe under a different contract.
- With Nic Claxton traded away in an earlier deal, Sharpe is expected to move into a larger role and is the leading internal candidate to start at center next season.
- Sharpe posted career-best efficiency and numbers last season, averaging 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 60.1 percent from the field.
- The Nets also face option decisions on Ziaire Williams, Josh Minott and Malachi Smith, and those combined choices will shape Brooklyn's short-term roster and salary-cap planning.
