Overview

• Brooklyn announced Sunday that it waived guard Yuri Collins days after signing him to a one-year deal with an $85,300 partial guarantee.
• The Nets now list 20 players under contract as they position the roster ahead of training camp.
• Collins’ arrangement mirrors an Exhibit 10-type pathway, with reporting indicating he is likely to join the Long Island Nets.
• Brooklyn has used identical $85,300 guarantees for Collins, David Muoka and Dre Davis as part of a salary-floor strategy highlighted by cap analyst Keith Smith.
• Smith notes the Nets sit just over $2 million above the salary floor and still must trim the roster to 15 standard contracts plus three two-way slots before the season.
