""The Nets have $15 million in cap space and can create more, which has led to increased trade talks about using their room to absorb salary while receiving assets, sources said. The Nets, Pistons ($14.1 million trade exception) and Utah Jazz ($18.4 million trade exception) are the only teams with significant room that can take in larger deals and not be impacted by the apron," Charania wrote."
""Brooklyn could also work with Cam Thomas' agents at Octagon to navigate his future, potentially via trade, as he plays the remainder of the season on the qualifying offer and will be an unrestricted free agent next summer," Charania continued."
Brooklyn currently holds roughly $15 million in cap space and can generate additional room, prompting increased trade conversations about absorbing salary in exchange for assets. Only a few teams possess comparable capacity to accept larger deals without apron consequences. The Nets previously used this flexibility to acquire Michael Porter Jr. and Denver's 2032 first-round pick, with Porter showing notable on-court improvement. Cam Thomas, signed to a one-year qualifying offer that includes a no-trade clause, remains a potential tradeable asset to be navigated with his agents; he will become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
