On the latest episode of ‘As The NBA Turns’ we find out that Lebron James isn’t the only one opting out of contracts today. Nick Young is also heading towards free agency. Could the Lakers lose Nick Young? Will Kobe ever return? The suspense is killing me!
BasketballInsiders.com made the prediction back in May. Here’s what they said
“A source very close to Young recently told Basketball Insiders the Los Angeles native would prefer to wear a Lakers uniform next season despite the uncertainty of the team’s roster and the vacant head coach position.
However, the source fully believes Young will elect to opt out of his deal this summer in order to fully evaluate his options on the free agent circuit in July. […]
According to the source, the purpose of opting out of his deal would be driven by the desire to lock up a more lucrative long term contract with the Lakers. But at the end of the day anything can happen during free agency and that’s where keeping all options open has importance.”
I’m not mad. Get that money Nick! Do you think he’ll stick with the Lakers or find a team that isn’t struggling so much?
