The Regime Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Shannon Brown, his agent Mark Bartelstein and the Lakers all know that it would be advantageous to opt out and get another deal before this contract is up after the 2011 season. The collective bargaining agreement will expire after that 2011 season, and there have been threats of a lockout by the NBA owners. If Brown opted out of his deal this summer, the Lakers would own his "Early Bird" rights and could sign him to a deal for up to five years and up to as high as the mid-level exception; the current mid-level exception pays $5.8 million in the first year. "We'll look at that at the right time," Bartelstein said. "Shannon loves it in L.A., and that's where he wants to be." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/65153/20100305/brown_likely_to_opt_out_wants_to_remain_in_la/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 If he would start slashing like he did *once* during that Miami game, he'd be well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
