Nets expected to give Trendon Watford qualifying offer in latest rebuild move
NY Post
The Nets are expected to extend a qualifying offer to Trendon Watford by Saturday’s deadline, a source told the Post.
That will make the 23-year-old a restricted free agent.
Watford averaged 6.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13.6 minutes last season for Brooklyn.
Watford played last season on a veteran minimum and has expressed a desire to stay with the Nets; the latest is a sign that Brooklyn may be looking to keep him as part of their rebuild.
“I think I can see myself here again,” Watford said after the Nets’ season ended. “I love the fans, and I love New York. This was my first time really living in New York and with the weather and the travel and everything; but it was great, man.
“It was great being around these guys, great being around the organization. Stepping into free-agency, we’ll see how it goes, but definitely had fun.”
