Or is Kidd making a point that your time in Dallas is done. You can either opt in this summer but you are not getting any play time or you can look for a new opportunity (probably making less money) to show you can still be a rotation player.
I think that may be part of it.
It also may be that he is soon to be outbound as filler in a TDL move already in the works, and they don't want to mess it up with an injury between now and then. Or he is a POTENTIAL trade filler, if they can find a deal where he fits.
Also, I still wonder if his option, not having been exercised yet for next year, simply goes away if they choose to waive him (with no payout on it) before it is exercised. NBA contract allows for either possibility, subject only to how the option is worded.
