Harris, Stauskas could both be back with Nets

As expected, the Nets didn’t tender a qualifying offer to Nik Stauskas by Friday’s deadline. But that doesn’t mean the sharpshooting Canadian is gone — or that the Nets are treating him as a bargain backup plan to Joe Harris.

Harris and Stauskas are now both unrestricted free agents, and bring a similar strength — 3-point shooting. Retaining Harris arguably is the Nets’ top free agent priority — his $1.5 million salary expected to at least triple or possibly quadruple — and many viewed Stauskas as a Plan B. Not so, said their shared agent.

“Not necessarily,” agent Mark Bartelstein told The Post,’’ adding that Stauskas’ return to the Nets isn’t dependent upon Harris leaving.

“I know [general manager] Sean [Marks] and the organization in general likes Nik a lot,” Bartelstein added. “We’ll see how things play out over the next two days. We’ll be keeping the lines of communication open for the next few days. I know the Nets like Nik a lot. We’ll see how the roster shapes up.”

The Nets declining to tender Stauskas a qualifying offer has been a fait accompli for months. He has never lived up to his billing as the eighth overall pick in the 2014 draft and after arriving from the 76ers in a midseason trade with Jahlil Okafor, got only sporadic playing time. He averaged 5.1 points in 13.7 min- utes over 35 games, shooting just 39.3 percent overall, but a solid 40.4 percent from 3-point range.

The Nets were never likely to pay $5.1 million for that kind of production. But considering they view Stauskas as a good teammate, a solid locker room presence and a capable shooter, Marks could well bring the guard back at a lower number — even if they do manage to retain Harris.

Harris averaged 10.8 points and shot 49.1 percent overall and a solid 41.9 percent from deep, all careerhighs. He’s not only a better defender, but can play small forward as well as shooting guard.

The Nets released their roster for the Las Vegas summer league.

It included Jarrett Allen (who missed his rookie summer league last year) and Caris LeVert, who will likely play a few games. Firstround pick Dzanan Musa and second-rounder Rodions Kurucs are both also listed, but a source said Musa isn’t expected to play after a long European season.

“We’ll discuss with the draft guys and see what’s best for them as a long-term plan in terms of gearing them up for an NBA season,” Marks said the day after the draft. “They’re coming off, in Dzanan’s case, 75 games. They’ve both had many workouts in the last month. So there’s a little bit of decompressing and recovery that needs to take place.”
