Shannon Brown opts out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers
24-year old shooting guard Shannon Brown has opted out of his contract for the 2010-11 season thus becoming a unrestricted free agent. Brown played in 82 games (7 starts) for the Lakers last season and he averaged 20.7 minutes, 8.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He played in 100 games (7 starts) in his two years with the Lakers and he averaged 18.4 minutes, 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Brown has played the best basketball of his career with the Lakers but backing up Kobe Bryant doesn’t lead to big numbers on the stat line. I think Brown will go to the team that offers him the most P.T. and cash.
