Did you make it up? Bibby is guaranteed through 08/09. Carter has a player opt, Wells is through next year, Boykins has almost 3 mil guaranteed through next year, Gerald Wallace is a player option, Rashard Lewis has a 2 year player opt, McDyess is a player option which he'll pick up if he's smart, Brezec is a player option.So 3 are guaranteed through next year, 2 are probably pick ups on player options, and a few more have player options.

Yes most of them have player options, and most of them will opt out. Bibby if he chooses will be a free agent after this season(most likely imo or sign an extension), Wallace will easily opt out of his, he'd be stupid not to. Shard is basically a guarantee to opt out, it's been talked about the past year. Dyess is a toss up, he could easily get the MLE for a final hurrah contract. Brezec should opt out, he's a big with talent that hasn't been paid. Carter will get one final big contract, either opting out and signing with another team. Or taking an extension.

    Grant Hill IMO isnt going to leave Orlando. When you have a guy like Dwight Howard on your team, you want to be on that roster. He is going to be a dominant force in the league for a VERY long time, and Grant Hill knows that...he isnt a dumb guy. He might want to go to a team where he could win a championship within a couple of seasons because he wants to retire some time soon, but I think he will stay in Orlando and ride out Dwight and Jameer. Also, other players are going to be drawn to Orlando because they are going to want to play beside Dwight. This would ultimatley give Hill more of an insentive to stay becasue his ultimate goal at this point in his career is a championship.

I know I would sure like him to stay with the Magic, his veteran leadership and basketball skill is huge to everyone out there on the team.
