Player Options 2013
Charlotte Bobcats - 79 Richard Jefferson $11,046,000[/b][/size]
The committee found that at this point Richard Jefferson is not likely to be a starter on most teams and the money is too good to refuse.
Charlotte Bobcats - 79 Kenyon Martin $4,700,000[/b][/size]
The committee were on the fence but felt that Kenyon would not get more money if he went elsewhere, even though he may tend to leave the Bobcats and join a contender in real life.
Charlotte Bobcats - 77 Andre Miller $3,750,000[/b][/size]
Andre Miller will opt out in the hopes he can be a role player on a contender.
Chicago Bulls - 78 Matt Barnes $980,360[/b][/size]
Matt Barnes could still get more money if he lost an arm, regardless of the Bulls' contender status.
Detroit Pistons - 74 Nick Young $2,500,000[/b][/size]
The committee felt that Nick would stay in his fair situation.
Detroit Pistons - 70 Darius Morris $490,180 [/b][/size]
Darius cannot earn more or less elsewhere.
LA Lakers - 80 Chauncey Billups $5,500,000 - $6,460,500[/b][/size]
The committee felt that Chauncey has a good contract and situation and would stay in LA.
LA Lakers - 66 Christian Eyenga $2,052,935 - $3,079,402 [/b][/size]
There is not likely a better situation for Eyenga.
Memphis Grizzlies - 79 Trevor Ariza $7,727,280[/b][/size]
Ariza's good contract sees him stay.
Miami Heat - 86 Steve Nash $5,550,000 - $6,160,500 [/b][/size]
Steve will return to the Heat to defend the D5 championship.
Miami Heat - 71 Reggie Evans $490,000 [/b][/size]
Reggie should be able to get more than the league minimum elsewhere, and if he does get the league minimum he's got nothing to lose.
Miami Heat - 71 Ian Mahinmi $990,180[/b][/size]
Not a bad deal for Mahinmi.
New Orleans Pelicans - 77 Troy Murphy $1,000,000 - $1,000,000 [/b][/size]
If Troy paid the Pelicans to play, he'd be overpaid.
New Orleans Pelicans - 71 James Jones $1,500,000[/b][/size]
Market value for James and it's unlikely he'll see much better situation elsewhere.
New Orleans Pelicans - 75 Linas Kleiza $4,600,000[/b][/size]
Mr Mediocre will remain with New Orleans also.
San Antonio Spurs - 77 Charlie Villanueva $8,580,000[/b][/size]
Charlie V's potential carried him to this contract and he doesn't have enough left to find a deal this good elsewhere.
San Antonio Spurs - 75 Quentin Richardson $2,808,600[/b][/size]
Good deal for Quentin really.
San Antonio Spurs - 70 Greg Oden $5,500,000[/b][/size]
Oden might actually get healthy this year, but until then he is unlikely to find a better deal than this one.
