Marreese Speights opts out of his contract with Clippers; others may soon do the same

It comes as no surprise that forward/center Marreese Speights opted out of his contract for the 2017-18 season with the Clippers, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The agency that represents Speights, AMS Sports, made the announcement Tuesday on Twitter.

Speights, who had until June 22 to inform the Clippers of his decision, would have made $1.459 million in the second year of a two-year deal he signed last summer.

Speights will be looking for the mid-level exception of about $8.2 million per year next season, which probably will be too much money for the Clippers, according to his representatives.
