Nic Claxton is about to make big money, like REALLY big money, in about 10 months. That’s when free agency opens next July and the 6’11” big man from South Carolina will become a free agent.
Barring a setback, Clax is likely to be a top free agent and under the CBA, the Nets won’t be able to extend him till then and since he’ll be an unrestricted free agent, the they won’t have the right to match an offer he’ll receive from elsewhere. No matter where he lands, that contract is likely to be nine figures and stretch out over four years.
