On Saturday afternoon, the [Brooklyn Nets](https://www.netsdaily.com) announced they have exercised team options on four of their young rotation players: Keon Johnson, Tyrese Martin, Jalen Wilson and Drew Timme, one day after waiving Maxwell Lewis. All five had a Saturday deadline to extend their deals with Brooklyn.
All four are on vets minimum deals at around $2 million.
Johnson, Wilson and Timme have further option dates coming up which if not exercised can give the front office more flexibility and limit salary cap exposure.
Johnson and Wilson are now partially guaranteed at $271,614 and $88,075, respectively through NBA Opening Night, October 22. If they make the Nets final roster, Johnson’s guarantee jumps to $760,000 while Wilson’s goes to $381,695. Like all players on non and partially guaranteed deals. they and Timme can be waived up to January 10. Martin appears to be fully guaranteed, per Spotrac’s contract notes. He was signed using part of the team’s Mid-Level exception, not the salary cap.
Lewis had an extension outstanding and the Nets will have to pay him $100,000.
Brooklyn has until Sunday to extend qualifying offers to their three restricted free agents: Cam Thomas, Day’Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams. Brooklyn has had exclusive negotiating rights with the three since last Monday. The team was expected to move onto their own free agents following the Draft. Also, Sunday, starting at 6:00 p.m. ET, the Nets can talk with other teams’ free agents, even extend them offer sheets that their current team has 48 hours to match. Sean Marks did that four times in his first two years, each time unsuccessfully.
