Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Brooklyn declining Ziaire Williams' $6.25 million team option, as reported by HoopsHype and the New York Post, could be a prelude to the Nets re-signing him to a longer deal using their room exception once they're done using all their cap space. For now, the Nets have $36 million in functional cap room. The Lakers could take a look at Ziaire Williams in free agency. The Lakers have desires to get younger and more athletic on the wing, and Williams is coming off back-to-back seasons in Brooklyn where he averaged more than 10 points and shot better than 34 percent from 3-point range.
