"Around the league, teams typically treat 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 7 as the real pressure point. Players waived by then can clear the standard 48-hour waiver process before contracts become guaranteed, making it the informal cutoff for roster decisions involving non or partially guaranteed deals. Wilson and Martin were the two Nets most directly tied to that deadline. Wilson, a second-round pick in 2023, is now in his third season with Brooklyn and has settled into a steady rotation role."
"Martin, in his second season with the franchise, has averaged 8.3 points, providing shooting and energy on the wing. Wilson's contract included a partial guarantee, while Martin entered the season on a fully non-guaranteed deal. The timing also coincides with increased roster movement across the NBA, as teams became eligible to sign players to standard 10-day contracts earlier this week."
The Nets will fully guarantee Jalen Wilson's and Tyrese Martin's contracts for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, locking both players in ahead of the NBA's official Jan. 10 salary guarantee date. Teams often treat 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 7 as the practical cutoff because waived players can clear the standard 48-hour waiver window before guarantees trigger. Wilson has averaged 7.4 points and settled into a steady rotation role in his third season. Martin has averaged 8.3 points, providing shooting and energy on the wing and entered the season on a non-guaranteed deal. Brooklyn prioritizes continuity amid injuries, lineup changes and development as the trade deadline approaches.
