Adam Morrison got about $5 million richer Wednesday and at least by the technicalities of NBA rules a little easier to trade. The Charlotte Bobcats exercised contract options for next season on Morrison ($5.257 million) and Jared Dudley ($1.307 million). Had the Bobcats not exercised those options by Oct. 31, both would have become unrestricted free agents in July. Also, not exercising that option would have given Morrison veto power, should the Bobcats seek to trade him. He is playing under a one-year option, in the third season of his rookie-scale contract.
