Steve Nash and Pau Gasol will be back for the 2013-14 campaign, but there's a chance both Jodie Meeks and Metta World Peace could be enjoying different grass next year. Not necessarily greener grass, but grass that is significantly less purple and gold.?
Meeks' contract includes a team option, so the Los Angeles Lakers get to choose whether or not they'd like to pay him $1,550,000 during the 2013-14 season. Given the low number, that would normally be an easy choice, but Meeks failed to meet the expectations in 2012-13 by a rather wide margin.?
Even with the lowered hopes, L.A. will probably still keep him on the roster for one more year, hoping he remembers how to shoot the ball with consistency.?
Metta World Peace's situation is more interesting, as he's almost certain to pick up his $7.7 million option. He possesses no shot at landing a bigger contract than that one, after all.?
However, fans and the team alike aren't going to be thrilled with MWP's decision, and there could be some external pressure exerted on him as the franchise looks to scale back in the salary department. The amnesty clause could also come into play here during mid-July, as MWP, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Blake are still eligible candidates.?
