Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar is expected to sign with the Turkish team Anadolu Efes Istanbul once the Hawks buy out his contract, which could happen as early as July 11.

Farmar would earn roughly $2.5 million annually, while starting at PG for one of the premier teams in the Euroleague. It's possible Farmar has played his final NBA game.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar is expected to be bought out by the Hawks once the trade that will send Joe Johnson to the Nets is finalized.

Farmar wasn't going to get much run in Atlanta behind Jeff Teague and Devin Harris, so he's probably happy with the move. It will also shave a little more salary off the Hawks payroll, which has been a running theme on Monday.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar has opted into the final year of his contract with the Nets, contrary to expectations.

Farmar was expected to test the market as a free agent, after being disappointed with his role last season, but it's possible he didn't think he'd earn an equivalent annual salary. He's not going to earn more minutes if Deron Williams and Jason Kidd both opt for Brooklyn, but could be a key player if they choose Dallas.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar intends to opt out of his contract by Saturday night, according to Howard Beck of the NY Times.

The Nets bought the rights to No. 41 pick PG Tyshawn Taylor on draft night, possibly in anticipation of Farmar's decision. Assuming Deron Williams re-signs with Brooklyn, the Nets are unlikely to pony up the amount of money Farmar is likely after.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar is not sure whether or not he'll pick up his $4.25 million player option for next season.

It seems like a no-brainer for Farmar, who ended this season with a groin injury. It's hard to imagine a team handing Farmar a contract worth more than $4 million annually in free agency, but Farmar is expected to make his decision within the next two weeks.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

The New York Post expects Jordan Farmar to pick up his $4.25 million player option for the 2012-13 season.

If Farmar declines the option, he'll become an unrestricted free agent. But he likely knows that if Deron William walks in free agency, he'll have a clear path to the starting gig. Farmar has averaged 13.4 points, 7.5 assists and 1.6 3-pointers per game in 25 career starts. It's a situation for fantasy owners to monitor closely this summer.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar (groin) said there is a "chance" he'll play again this season.

The Nets had previously ruled Farmar out for the year, but Farmar is holding out hope he'll be able to return for the final stretch. He remains out indefinitely and is not an option in fantasy formats.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar (groin) is out for the season.

Farmar set career-highs in points (10.4) and field-goal percentage (46.7) this season, but appeared in just 39 games -- 34 as a backup. He'll enter an interesting offseason as Deron Williams will opt out and become an unrestricted free agent. If Deron walks, Farmar could invoke his own player option and contend for the starting point guard gig in New Jersey.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar (groin) will not play on Monday against the Jazz, and the next update on his status will come on April 5.

This puts Farmar out for at least six games, and while Sundiata Gaines will move into the backup PG minutes -- the guy to watch is Gerald Green. With Anthony Morrow (shoulder) also out on Monday, Green will get an immediate chance to turn things around, as will MarShon Brooks.

Jordan Farmar (groin) will not play on Monday against the Jazz.

Anthony Morrow (shoulder) is also out, leaving the backup guard slots in a pickle. Gerald Green will get a chance to heat back up and Sundiata Gaines will also pick up minutes.

Jordan Farmar - G - Hawks

Jordan Farmar (groin) returned to action on Friday, scoring five points on 1-of-2 shooting (including a three) with one assist in 13 minutes.

Farmar needs an injury in front of him to have any real fantasy value, though some extended health could eventually make him a deep league option once again.

Jordan Farmar (groin) will be active for the Nets on Friday when they take on the Hawks.

Farmar will return to his backup PG role behind Deron Williams for New Jersey and will struggle to carve out any fantasy value as long as D-Will stays healthy.

Jordan Farmar (groin) is "probably out" for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Farmar has not played in three straight due to the injury and will really struggle to have any sort of fantasy value with Deron Williams (calf) healthy.
