NBA extends deadline to pick up fourth-year options (nba.com)

The NBA has extended the deadline for teams seeking to sign their fourth-year players from the draft class of 2006 to contract extensions to next Monday, Nov. 2, instead of the previous deadline of Oct. 31. The move was made because the 31st falls on a Saturday instead of a business day. However, the extra time may not matter for the handful of players still looking for new deals.
