i don't think this was the case. any GM worth his job would understand a player with a player option shouldn't be counted on to return and isn't a guarantee. it's not like the Warriors missed out on Baron's replacement, from where they were selecting in the draft. now if you tell me "had the Warriors felt Baron wouldn't be back - they'd have made a move to aquire Rose on draft day", that's a different story. alas, it didn't happen. don't give out player options then.
