Rumor Central: Luc Mbah a Moute expected to decline option

On Tuesday, it was announced by Marreese Speights' agent that the center had declined his 2017-18 player option with the view of becoming a free agent starting on July 1. The L.A. Clippers have three more players on the roster that can become free agents in July, and all of them will make that move.

According to the Los Angeles Times, forward Luc Mbah a Moute is expected to let the June 29 deadline pass to pick up his 2017-18 player option worth $2.3 million. The Clippers will own Mbah a Moute's "Early Bird" rights in July, which will allow them to pay him up to around $7.
