There is movement among the Lakers, and it makes sense since the team has eight players at the end of the contract, and five who can play their « player option ». To that, we must add the exchange concluded Wednesday night with the Thunder, with the arrival of Dennis Schroder against Danny Green.
This Thursday, two news arrived from Los Angeles. Under contract, Quinn Cook is cut when he was due to touch three million dollars this season. As for JaVale McGee, who had a “player option”, he chose to activate it so as not to test the market, and he will therefore receive 2.4 million dollars this season.
In the same situation as JaVale McGee, Anthony Davis, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo will decline this “player option” and they will test the “free agency”, and the Lakers will have a hard time keeping everyone. It is for this reason that they negotiated the arrival of Dennis Schroder.
Player option : Possibility for a player to activate (or not) the last year of his contract, in order to end his lease or to become a free agent one year in advance.
