NBA:Option Years

Sam moved page NBA:Option Years to NBA:Options Renamed to Options

New page

{{1TC NBA rules}}

An option year is a season your team '''may''' keep a player for, at his existing salary. It is a team option — the player has no say — and you decide one season at a time.

Option years are marked with a trailing <code>x</code>:

<pre style="white-space:pre; overflow-x:auto">
Xavier McDaniel (SEA - SF/PF) $2,606,200 (2026, 2027x)
</pre>

Guaranteed through 2026. '''2027 is yours to take or leave.''' See [[NBA:Contracts#Option years|Contracts]] for the notation, including contracts carrying several options.

== When ==

Options are the '''first phase of the off-season''', before [[NBA:Re-Signing|re-signing]], the [[NBA:Draft|draft]], and [[NBA:Free Agency|free agency]]. For 2026 the window ran July 16 to July 30. Dates are announced each year — see [[NBA:Off-Season|Off-Season]].

Only the '''upcoming''' season's options are decided. A contract reading <code>(2025, ~2029x)</code> comes up four separate times, once per off-season.

Your own upcoming option decisions are listed at the bottom of your team's tab on the [[NBA:League Spreadsheet|league spreadsheet]], and every decision in the league is collected on its '''Options''' tab.

== Exercising and declining ==

Post a decision for every player on your roster with an option for the upcoming season. This is not optional, and silence is not neutral.

{| class="wikitable"
! Your decision
! Result
|-
! Exercise
| The option year becomes a guaranteed year at the same salary
|-
! Decline
| The player goes to [[NBA:Free Agency|free agency]]
|-
! Nothing posted
| Treated as a decline — the player goes to free agency
|}

'''Exercise''' and '''decline''' are the terms used here, following the NBA. ''Accept'' and ''pick up'' mean the same thing and are perfectly fine in a post — the forum itself is named ''NBA Option Year Pickup/Decline''.

{{Important|All three outcomes are final. You cannot revisit a decision once posted, and you cannot recover a player lost by forgetting to post.}}

=== Exercising ===

The salary is unchanged: the same annual figure, now guaranteed for that season. It counts in full against your [[NBA:Salary Cap|cap]].

It also extends your '''waiver exposure by exactly one season'''. Before you exercise, that year carried no dead money if you released him; after you exercise, waiving him produces a [[NBA:Waivers#Which years|cap hit]] through that year. Options are cheap to hold and cheap to walk away from — exercising is the moment that changes.

=== Declining ===

A declined player enters the free agent pool. Two consequences:

* '''You may not decline an option and then re-sign him.''' [[NBA:Re-Signing|Re-signing]] is closed to you for that player. Declining is how you let a player go, not a way to reprice him.
* He is an ordinary free agent, so any team may bid — including yours, at open-market prices rather than his option salary.

== How to post ==

Create a topic in the [https://2teams1cup.com/forum/index.php?showforum=262 NBA Option Year Pickup/Decline] forum. The title is the player's name and the description is your decision — <code>Exercise/Decline</code>.

The body carries your decision, the option year, and the player's contract:

<pre style="white-space:pre; overflow-x:auto">
Sonics exercise the 2027 option for Xavier McDaniel (SEA - SF/PF) $2,606,200 (2026, 2027x)
</pre>

<pre style="white-space:pre; overflow-x:auto">
Sonics decline the 2027 option for Xavier McDaniel (SEA - SF/PF) $2,606,200 (2026, 2027x)
</pre>

== See also ==

* [[NBA:Contracts|Contracts]] — option notation and the <code>x</code> suffix
* [[NBA:Re-Signing|Re-Signing]] — why declining forecloses one
* [[NBA:Free Agency|Free Agency]] — where declined players go
* [[NBA:Waivers|Waivers]] — how an exercised option lengthens a cap hit
* [[NBA:Off-Season|Off-Season]] — the option window and what follows it

Message box for the heaviest rules

New page

<div style="border-left: 4px solid var( --border-color-error, #9f3526 ); background: var( --background-color-error-subtle, #ffe9e5 ); color: var( --color-base, #202122 ); padding: 0.7em 1em; margin: 1em 0;">{{{1|}}}</div><noinclude>

A message box for the rules that carry the heaviest consequences — the ones where getting it wrong costs you a pick, a player, or your team.

'''Usage:''' <code><nowiki>{{Important|Your text here.}}</nowiki></code>

If the text contains an equals sign, number the parameter: <code><nowiki>{{Important|1=a = b}}</nowiki></code>

Colours come from the Codex design tokens, so the box follows the reader's light/dark preference. A calmer blue variant on the same pattern would be <code>Template:Note</code>.
