If he is still on the roster by mid-December he has a guaranteed contract for

season, Bremer receives a guaranteed contract for the 2003-04 season worth
$563,679.

Hence the phrase team option, although it may not be an official option in some
sense and maybe that's why they didn't have to exercise it July 1. Regardless,
it is the team's choice whether or not he is with them next season. He is not
currently under a guaranteed contract, more a matter of committed to them until
they choose before the season.

Ah, that explains it. In that case, I'm guessing DA would rather have Hunter at
360K than JR at 560K. Especially since we just signed a fourth small guard,
which should move Bremer to at least 3rd on both the PG and SG chart. But you
never know with Obie...
