Philadelphia 76ers decline Jahlil Okafor's option

However, if the team declines either option and the player becomes a free
agent, the team cannot re-sign him to a salary greater than he would have
received had the team exercised its option. In other words, teams can't
decline an option year in order to get around the rookie salary scale and
give the player more money. This applies to all types of signings, including
the Bird exception, the Mid-Level exception, and cap room.
然而，假使球队拒绝执行球队选项，而让球员成为自由球员以后，球队
不能用比球队选项那年更高的金额签下该球员。也就是说，球队不能用
拒绝执行球队选项，来给球员更多的钱。这个规则适用于所有的签约手
段，包含鸟权、中产、和薪资空间。

在我的理解是，至少在首轮新秀的 team option 被拒绝执行以后，该球员
拿大约的希望基本上就没有了：鸟权不能超过选项年，那鸟权的意义在哪？
这才是其他球队连出手二轮签都不太想的原因吧：租3/4季的球员，但季末
又没有母队续约优势，那谁要接他今年的薪水？
应该说在76人决定拒绝执行以后，OK4的“钱”途实在不太亮。
