Andrei Kirilenko expects to make a decision on the player option in his contract after Thursday's draft. Kirilenko has to decide by June 29 whether to exercise the $10.2 million option year on his contract. While it might seem strange the date comes after the draft, it's the deadline former GM David Kahn put in Kirilenko's contract last summer. If he does opt out, Kirilenko is unlikely to get a contract that averages $10 million per season from new GM Flip Saunders, but he could still land a multiyear deal over two or three seasons.
