To free up cap room for their free agent signings, the Nets have withdrawn their qualifying offer for Theo Pinson, tweets Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports. The rookie shooting guard is now an unrestricted free agent.
Undrafted out of North Carolina, Pinson joined the Nets for training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract and earned a roster spot as a two-way player. His deal was converted to a standard NBA contract shortly before the end of the season in April.
Pinson appeared in 18 NBA games in his first season, averaging 4.5 PPG in 11.7 minutes per night. He posted a 20.7/5.9/6.1 line in 34 G League games.
They have also renounced his minimum cap hold, according to Keith.
He’s inexpensive and might have some upside, the Sixers should take a look.
think nets will bring him back on a minimum deal
Theo could be a good upside piece for a team like CLE or PHX. Might be a PG in the future instead of a forward.
I thought Nets were keeping him. I’m surprised about this unless they already plan to resign him.
