Nets Re-Sign Day’Ron Sharpe Two-Year $12M Deal

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract to retain center Day’Ron Sharpe, who had a career-best season averaging 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in just over 18 minutes per game. Despite being eligible for restricted free agency, the Nets did not extend a qualifying offer, allowing Sharpe to enter unrestricted free agency before quickly re-signing him to a team-friendly deal aimed at maximizing cap flexibility. Sharpe's strong on/off-court metrics and historic offensive rebounding rate made him a valuable asset for the Nets, who outperformed opponents significantly when he was on the floor. The team plans to keep Sharpe as a backup to starter Nic Claxton, though he faces competition from rookie Danny Wolf. Alongside re-signing Sharpe, the Nets also secured Ziaire Williams on a similar two-year deal and are exploring other roster moves to use their remaining cap space strategically. This approach reflects Brooklyn's intent to build around young talent while maintaining financial flexibility for future acquisitions.
