CBA specifies that option years can only be at the specified increases - a max of 10% or 12.5% in the old CBA.
So Bonner didn't want to agree to an option for only $430,000 for year two. Because for sure the Raps would have suggested it.
The NBA reality is, that Bonner would either be worth more than that, or he have not been worth excercising the option. So no benefit to Bonner at all in accepting the option.
Remember, he turned down more money from Europe to try the NBA.
