Nick Young to opt out of Lakers deal

As expected, Lakers guard Nick Young has opted out of the second year of his contract.

Through 64 games, Young averaged 17.9 points a game while shooting 43.5% from the field and 38.6% from three-point range.

Though the 29-year old scorer will forgo $1.2 million with the Lakers to land a bigger contract, he'd happily re-sign and stay in his hometown.
