“It's something I really have to think about, if I really want to be this type of player, finish out my career as this type of player, knowing that I have so much left in the tank and I bring so much to the game of basketball,” Anthony said.
Anthony has until Saturday to exercise the Early Termination Option in his contract. If he did, he would become a free agent and leave the final guaranteed year of his deal and $27.9 million on the table. If Anthony does nothing, he’s guaranteed that salary for next season. A buyout for a smaller number or the entire sum could be negotiated, as well, which would make Anthony a free agent.
