thenewstribune:Seattle SuperSonics All-Star forward Rashard Lewis revealed Wednesday that he plans on opting out of his contract after next season and once again becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Including this season, Lewis has four years and around $48 million remaining on the seven-year, $60 million contract he signed in the summer of 2003.
But the team gave Lewis an option to get out of the contract after the 2006-07 season, which Lewis said he will take. If he does, he will forgo $21 million over the final two years of his deal to seek a more lucrative contract.
“My mind-set is, to me, I am going to look at the last two years of my contract and see how much I can make those last two years, and how much I can get if I opt out of my contract,” said Lewis, who moved into second place on the team’s all-time list by making his 700th 3-pointer Tuesday night (he trails only Gary Payton). “There are a lot of areas I am going to have to look at.
I know a team that has something called "The 07' plan" thats probably feeling good about this as they can make a run for him
