"A day after Brooklyn signed Muoka to a standard contract, they announced they had waived the young big man on Tuesday afternoon. It created the roster space they needed to complete a trade for guard Kobe Bufkin."
"A league source told the Post that Muoka is likely to land with G League affiliate Long Island, where he has played previously. The Nets had even signed Muoka's contract in a way to make such a reunion possible."
"Up to this point, Nets general manager Sean Marks has used his league-high cap space to take four salary dumps - Michael Porter Jr., Haywood Highsmith, Terance Mann and now Bufkin. The former trio brought back future draft assets, while the latter came as a devalued 21-year-old prospect, the 15th overall pick in 2023."
Brooklyn signed David Muoka to a standard contract and then waived him to create roster space needed to complete the trade for Kobe Bufkin. Muoka is likely to join the Nets’ G League affiliate Long Island, and his contract was structured to allow a reunion. The Nets must reduce to 15 standard contracts and three two-way deals before Opening Night and currently hold 15 guaranteed deals, four non-guaranteed deals and two two-ways. General manager Sean Marks has used league-high cap space for multiple salary-dump acquisitions, and Brooklyn still manages remaining cap space and potential further moves.
