Brooklyn Nets center Day’Ron Sharpe went into the 2025 NBA offseason as a player who could have seen a significant raise on the free-agency market following his best season in the league. Sharpe became an unrestricted free-agent in July after Brooklyn declined to extend to him his qualifying offer, but recent details show just how much Sharpe wanted to be back with the Nets.

On Tuesday, Spotrac’s Keith Smith reported that Sharpe waived his implied no-trade clause when he officially re-signed with the Nets on Sep. 3. According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, Sharpe signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal to return to Brooklyn with the second year being a team option.

When Scotto initially reported that Sharpe had re-signed with the Nets, the contract was for two years (second-year team option) and $12 million, indicating that Brooklyn gave Sharpe a $500,000 raise. Smith went on to say that “Sharpe was eligible for a NTC because his deal includes an option (team option in this case) on the second season.”

Sharpe waiving his implied no-trade clause is a win for the Nets as the team could look to trade him depending on what options present themselves close to the trade deadline. More to the point, it’s safe to assume that no one on Brooklyn’s roster is untouchable in terms of being traded, but Sharpe waived the ability to determine where he is traded to.

Sharpe, 23, is coming off a 2024-25 season in which he averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 52.1% from the field and 75.7% from the free-throw line. Heading into the 2024-25 season, Sharpe is set to continue being the backup center to starter Nic Claxton as he has been for the past four years.
