The Nets will not give qualifications to forward stars, but they may still want to keep him?

According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, sources revealed to him that the Brooklyn Nets have decided that they will not offer Ziaire Williams a year of $8.35 million in qualifications, which also makes Williams a full free agent after the free market is opened. However, Scotto also said that the Nets still hope to re-sign the high-potential forward star with a more flexible salary plan.

In the NBA regular season this season, Williams played a total of 63 games in 82 games, including 45 of which were the starters. His average playing time reached 24.5 minutes, with averaging 10 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 41.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 82.1%. After joining the Nets, Williams got more playing time and performance opportunities, and his various data also improved significantly, basically reaching the highest point of his personal career. However, the problem is that his offensive efficiency is still not ideal, his three-point shooting percentage has not improved significantly, and he has not made much progress in his game reading ability. Williams' skills are still rough, and the team also arranged for him to appear in the fourth or even the fifth position at some times, which is closely related to his lack of technical progress.

In a deal last summer, Williams was sent to the Nets by his old club, the Memphis Grizzlies. In order to send Williams away, the Grizzlies even had to take a second round pick. Williams was also a lottery show with a high pick at the time, and he was also a player who was highly anticipated by everyone. He has very good physical talent and athletic ability. Unfortunately, during his time with the Grizzlies, his performance was not ideal, and his talent and potential were not fully utilized. His progress was very slow, which was also an important factor in the Grizzlies' end to send him away.

The current situation is actually very unfavorable for Williams. Obviously, Williams' performance did not impress the Nets' uniform group. They didn't even think he deserved the qualification offer of $8.35 million, because once Williams accepted the qualification offer, it would be a bad situation for the Nets. Williams may still have a chance to stay in the team next season, or continue to stay in the NBA, but it should be difficult for him to get a contract that is higher than the basic salary. I wonder how the situation will develop this summer. Will he get a contract that exceeds the basic salary?
