Time is running out for Jameer Nelson.

The Orlando Magic’s co-captain and starting point guard must make a decision whether invoke his player option for the 2012-13 season, and General Manager Otis Smith said that Nelson is contractually obligated to make his choice known within three days of the Magic’s final postseason game.

“I can’t make the decision until some other decisions are made around here,” Nelson said. “I want to be here in the Orlando Magic uniform. I love being here. I love being in the city.”

The problem for Nelson is that the Magic almost certainly will not make a decision on their coaching and general-manager situations before Nelson is required to make his choice. What if the Magic change coaches and general managers, and the new coach and general manager want a different point guard?
