<p>If Nelson decides to opt-in with the Magic, he will make $8.6 million for season and be looking at unrestricted free agency for the 2013 offseason. If Nelson decides to opt-out of his contract with the Magic, he can still re-sign with the team with a new long-term deal and would be eligible for a no-trade clause in his contract.</p>
<p>Nelson has until May 15 to make his decision on what to do but seemed to indicate previously that he <a href="http://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2012/4/27/2979454/nba-rumors-jameer-nelson-opt-out-nba-free-agency-2012-magic" target="_blank">will opt out of his contract and hit free agency</a>.</p>
