The Lakers aren't planning on offering Jordan Farmar a contract extension this season, which in many ways leaves his future uncertain. Farmar, in his fourth season, in which he'll earn $1.947 million, saw the team pick up the options for his third and fourth seasons. But he's aware that if the Lakers don't offer him a deal by the deadline of Oct. 31, he'll become a restricted free agent next summer and the Lakers can match any offer Farmar receives from another team. Farmar said after practice Saturday he's not feeling increased pressure because this is a contract year.
