Knicks' Arron Afflalo will opt out and become free agent
New York Knicks guard Arron Afflalo will reportedly opt out of his contract, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer.
What It Means:
Afflalo had a down year in New York, and with the salary cap set to explode, Afflalo looks poised to cash in one more time on a potential long-term deal. He will be 31 by the time next season starts, so he is taking a slight risk leaving $8 million on the table next season for a chance at a bigger deal elsewhere.
Afflalo averaged 12.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 treys in 2016-'17 and won't be much of a fantasy option outside of deeper leagues no matter where he ends up. His -4.6 nERD ranked 126th.
