Joel Anthony opts out of his contract with the Miami Heat
27-year old center Joel Anthony has opted out of his contract for the 2010-11 season thus becoming a unrestricted free agent. Anthony played in 80 games (16 starts) for the Heat last season and he averaged 16.5 minutes, 2.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game. He has played in 169 games (45 starts) in his three years with the Heat in which he has averaged 17.0 minutes, 2.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 1.4 blocked shots. Anthony isn’t closing the door on the Heat and I don’t blame him for testing the open market instead of settling for slightly under 900K.
