5th yr options....

the new CBA does make the 5th yr option fully guaranteed at the time that it is placed on a player, but that starts for players drafted in 2018 and beyond.....players drafted in 2016,2017 are still only guaranteed for injury or on the 1st day of the new league yr.....Davis’s 5th yr option amount is the cost of the transition tag for 2020 which is actually 15.6 mil.

So we can pick up the option and then cut him if we want without any cap hit....what we would lose is the chance of getting a comp pick for him because he would no longer be a free agent
