NetsDaily can confirm Lin’s representatives have filed the necessary paperwork to exercise his option.
The option is part of Lin’s three-year, $36 million deal signed in July 2016. The option year was then seen as a way for Lin to be able to re-open his contract if he had done well in the first two years of his contract.
