Why Pick up options on these guys when there are far better options in Free agency? Makes zero sense.
Johnson is a dime a dozen and Jerebko is a JAG.
Value of their contracts.
There's really no value in a one year contract really, particularly this early in free-agency.
You're better off simply overpaying someone on a similar deal later on after you have exhausted your options for improvement.
Personally I rather not risk the potential of having enough cap space for 2 max salary players instead of restricting myself to just the one.
Not that there are many players I'm actually interested in using those slots for, but the option is an important one to have.
Amir and Jerebko are inconsequential in the end and easily replaceable.
