Al Jefferson of the Charlotte Hornets wants to get an early jump on his pending free agent decision this summer by putting it out there that he is not looking to opt out of his deal this summer. Jefferson has a $13.5 million player option for the 2015-16 season. It is probably the smartest move on his part to pick up his option and put off his impending free agency one more year for the salary cap bonanza of the summer of 2016.
