The Brooklyn Nets are evaluating their options with a remaining $22.3 million in salary cap space after a disappointing run in the Las Vegas Summer League, where they finished with a 1-4 record. The team must address the situation with restricted free agent Cam Thomas, while also having renounced the rights to Day'Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams, both of whom were re-signed. This strategy allows the Nets to utilize the Mid-Level Room Exception, which is critical for teams with cap space.

As the Nets navigate the offseason, their current roster stands at 18 players, including those with pending transactions. They must also consider the salary floor by the season's start, failing which a cap hold will be assigned for the difference. General manager Sean Marks has the flexibility to make moves, including potentially exceeding the salary cap to retain Thomas, making the upcoming weeks crucial for the team's future.
