Warriors Pickup Options.

[Pugz]

The Golden State Warriors have exercised the third-year contract options on guard Marco Belinelli and forward Brandan Wright and declined the fourth-year contract option on guard Marcus Williams, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin announced today.

Under the terms of the NBA’s current collective bargaining agreement, the first two years of a first round draft pick’s contract are guaranteed, while the third and fourth year of the contract are the team’s option. Belinelli was selected with the 18th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Warriors while Wright was selected with the eighth overall selection in that same draft by the Charlotte Bobcats and later acquired by Golden State. The Warriors acquired Williams – the 22nd pick in the 2006 NBA Draft – from the New Jersey Nets on July 22, 2008.

Maybe Marcus isn't as good as some thought.
He doesn't start when most think he could have, then they decline his option.
