Young has exercised his contract's early termination option, making him an unrestricted free agent, NetsDaily.com reports.

Analysis:

Young was set to earn $9.7 million in the final year of his contract, but will instead seek more long-term security as he hits the open market this offseason. At only 27 years old, Young has averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds over his eight NBA seasons, proving to be a reliable and versatile forward. As a result, Young should have no shortage of suitors once free agency begins July 1, although the Nets are still expected to make a strong push to retain Young at that time.
