The Nets are letting Rondae Hollis-Jefferson into unrestricted free agency.
Brooklyn declined to make a $3.96 qualifying offer to the 24-year-old forward, according to ESPN.com. Doing so would have kept Hollis-Jefferson in restricted free agency, allowing the Nets to match any offer sheet he signed.
Hollis-Jefferson played nearly 21 minutes per game last season, averaging 8.9 points and 5.3 rebounds on 41.1% shooting as he finished out his rookie deal. The 6-foot-7 Hollis-Jefferson is also considered a versatile defender.
The Nets, who now have $46 million in cap space, are expected to make a run at Kyrie Irving this summer, as well as another star free agent. They have enough cap space for two max deals.
