Mo Williams to opt out of final year with Portland Trail Blazers

Mo Williams has decided to opt out of his final season with the Portland Trail Blazers to test the free agency market during the off-season.

The point guard, who has played 11 seasons in the NBA, had a season left on his contract with the Blazers, but has an opt-out clause which allows him to become an unrestricted free agent.

The 31-year-old told The Oregonian: "I'm going into my 12th year, so I'd love to get a contract. This is, in my opinion, my last one. After that, I'll be a guy that's hanging on by the last string, getting my one-year deal in, trying to get as many of those as I can. So this is my last time to get a three-year deal. I've got three good years left in me."

Williams joined Portland last summer following a one-year spell with the Utah Jazz.
