Maybe the only reason we haven't done so already is because they may be used in an upcoming trade... theres a thought.

Bingo. Waiting til the last minute would leave the option to the receiving team if either or both are dealt.Originally Posted by plowman5
There's really no reason to do so until the deadline. Heaven forbid...what if one of them had a Livingston type of injury? Look at Ammo; wasn't that in preseason or at the start of regular season?

More frequently this season, teams are delaying these lottery extensions to send a subtle message to the players association that they will have to make concessions during the next CBA. If DJ or Hendo had a major injury in next 2 weeks they may not get benefit that morrison & may received.

What about Brown? Doesn't he have an option coming up as well?

I think he's still unguaranteed actually.

Oh wow. I guess that's a good thing? On the other hand, he's getting what, less than a million this year? Not like it makes a difference.

That's the beauty of the 2nd round contracts-they are non-guaranteed...the Teams retain a lot more flexibility (if the player ends up being a dud aka Ajinca). Forces the players to earn their paycheck (if only in practice/summer/training camp by showing up in shape, with obvious improvement in areas identified by the coaches).
this. Releasing two lottery picks, who didn't yet have the chance to prove themselves is the dumbest thing you could possibly do as a NBA franchise. We are already the biggest joke in the NBA, but that would top it all.
what? you would consider releasing DJ? Question, are you baked?Henderson, yes. DJ, hmm... Maybe let's wait a little bit more to see what he can do as the starting PG.
It's not a question of whether you release DJ, you wouldn't release him. The Bobcats have to decide by this November 1st if they want to make guarantee his $3.2M for next season http://hoopshype.com/salaries/charlotte.htm
We got burned by similar decisions with May and Morrison and Ajinca
The only lottery pick to not get his option picked up was Joe Alexander.
Say what you want about Lexi, Morrison, and May - but their situations were never as bad.
