Adam Morrison said he wasn't surprised the Bobcats exercised his option on Wednesday, and he won't be surprised if he or another wing player is traded.

“We have a lot of (shooting guards and small forwards) on this team. That's obvious even if you didn't know our team. Just look at the roster,” Morrison said.

“Aside from your contract, there's really not anything you can do about (potential trades). It's a cliché about every sports league, but it is a business. They've got to win and they've got to address the issues.”

GM Rod Higgins said the NBA's trade rules were not a primary concern in exercising the option.

“That wasn't our mindset in picking it up,” Higgins said. “But if he becomes unrestricted (next summer), then you limit your options.”
