EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Nets have exercised contract options on starters Courtney Lee, Brook Lopez and Yi Jianlian for the 2010-11 seasons.

The Nets on Thursday also declined to exercise the fourth-year contract option on forward Sean Williams, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2007 and the 17th pick overall.
The options that the Nets picked up on Lopez and Lee were for their third seasons. Lopez will earn $2.41 million, while Lee will get $1.34 million. The option on Yi is for his fourth season and it will earn him just over $4 million.
Williams would have earned $2.5 million had the team pick up his fourth-year option.
