Michael Scotto: Sources: The Brooklyn Nets won’t tender Ziaire Williams his 1-year, $8.35M qualifying offer. The Nets hope to retain Williams. This move gives themselves more free agent cap flexibility. Williams will become an unrestricted free agent after averaging 10 points and 4.6 rebounds.

The Nets sent Cam Thomas to restricted free agency and allowed Day’Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams to hit the open market.
What could have been their motivation behind those decisions?

The Brooklyn Nets would’ve risked losing $14 million in cap space by tendering Day’Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams their qualifying offers.
They could re-sign them to salaries below their respective cap holds to maximize their cap space.
