The Nets have exercised their team options for 2025\/26 on four players, the team announced today (Twitter link<\/a> via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype). Those players, along with their option salaries, are as follows:<\/p>\n

\"\"Crucially, Brooklyn\u2019s decision to pick up these options does not mean that all four players now have fully guaranteed salaries.<\/p>\n

As outlined on our team option decision tracker<\/a>, Johnson will receive a partial guarantee worth about $272K, while Wilson will receive on worth roughly $88K. Martin\u2019s and Timme\u2019s salaries remain entirely non-guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Johnson and Wilson will see their partial guarantees increase if they make the regular season roster, but Martin and Timme will remain non-guaranteed until January, so exercising these options doesn\u2019t really affect the Nets\u2019 cap flexibility at all. They could always waive one or more of these players down the road while retaining little to no salary on their cap.<\/p>\n

Johnson, Wilson, and Martin each earned regular minutes in 2024\/25 for a rebuilding Nets team. Johnson, a 6\u20195\u2033 shooting guard, emerged as a starter in December after Cam Thomas<\/a> went down with a hamstring injury, averaging 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 24.4 minutes per game across 79 appearances (56 starts) on the season.<\/p>\n

Wilson, a 6\u20198\u2033 forward, put up 9.5 PPG, 3.4 RPG, and 1.8 APG in 25.7 MPG, starting 22 of his 79 outings. Martin, a 6\u20196\u2033 wing, averaged 8.7 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and 2.0 APG in 21.9 MPG across 60 games (11 starts).<\/p>\n

Timme, a former Gonzaga big man, earned a late-season promotion from the G League and saw plenty of action down the stretch, registering averages of 12.1 PPG, 7.2 RPG, and 2.2 APG in nine games (28.2 MPG).<\/p>\n

Counting their four players on guaranteed contracts, their five first-round picks, incoming trade acquisition Terance Mann<\/a>, and these four players with options, the Nets already have 14 players on their books for 2025\/26. That list doesn\u2019t include restricted free agents Thomas, Day\u2019Ron Sharpe<\/a>, and Ziaire Williams<\/a>, or anyone else the Nets might add using their significant cap room in the coming days or weeks.<\/p>\n

In other words, there likely won\u2019t be enough spots to go around for everyone, so I wouldn\u2019t count on all four of these players opening the season on Brooklyn\u2019s 15-man roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Nets have exercised their team options for 2025\/26 on four players, the team announced today (Twitter link…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132334,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3767],"tags":[7,670,247,3803,2468,4609,2640,6,671,4614],"class_list":{"0":"post-132333","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn-nets","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-brooklyn","10":"tag-brooklyn-nets","11":"tag-brooklynnets","12":"tag-drew-timme","13":"tag-jalen-wilson","14":"tag-keon-johnson","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-nets","17":"tag-tyrese-martin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
