Brooklyn Nets

Outgoing Player/Asset Outgoing Salary Incoming Player/Asset Incoming Salary
Mamadi Diakite $1,392,150 Ziaire Williams $6,133,005
Nemanja Dangubic $0 (draft rights) 2030 DAL 2nd Round Pick N/A
  1. Diakite’s contract of $2,272,252 was partially guaranteed for $1,392,150 when Brooklyn acquired Diakite from the New York Knicks on July 6th. This is why his outgoing salary is calculated using this amount.
  2. Because his outgoing salary does not reach an amount allowable within the Expanded TPE (the largest of the exceptions) to absorb Wiliiams’ incoming salary, there is no need to guarantee any additional salary.
  3. As a result, Brooklyn then needs to use an existing TPE to absorb the Williams salary. The smallest TPE they have available to absorb the contract is the TPE created from the Royce O’Neal Trade ($9,500,000), which would then decrease to $3,366,995, and expires on 2/10/25.
  4. Because Williams was absorbed in a separate TPE, the Nets create a new $1,391,150 TPE from the Diakite trade, which will expire on 7/19/25

Zaire Williams $6,133,005 Mamadi Diakite $0 (minimum salary)
2030 DAL 2nd Round Pick N/A Nemanja Dangubic $0 (draft rights)

  2. Memphis saves $3,859,753 in cap space as a result of the trade.
