"This is my first summer [with] no trouble. I ain't go to jail for speeding. Didn't go to jail for DUI. I didn't break my foot. I didn't break my other foot. I'm one step ahead of the game already." - Kwame Brown


 
 

2011 offseason free agent movement



Glossary of terms:

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. The differences are not relevant to the context of this page.

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. Or, 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 on first round rookie contracts who had an option declined, like Earl Clark.

Unguaranteed/partially guaranteed: .....guess. Guess wildly. Financial details of such contracts to be found on salary pages.
