2009 offseason free agent movement



Glossary of terms and that:

Team option: Team has the option to extend the contract to already dictated terms.

Player option/early termination option: Player has the option to extend the contract to already dictated terms. They're basically the same thing, even though they aren't.

Restricted: Player has just completed fourth year of first round rookie contract and, assuming his team extends the necessary qualifying offer, is to enter restricted free agency.

Option on restriction: Player has three years or less experience in the NBA and, assuming his team extends the necessary qualifying offer, is to enter restricted free agency. But they might not choose to do so. The only exception to those eligible are those who were on first round rookie contracts who had an option declined, like Cedric Simmons.

Unguaranteed/partially guaranteed: .....ooh, guess. Guess wildly. Details of such bobbins to be found on salary pages.

List accurate as of July 1st 2009. List stopped being updated on September 28th 2009.
