No. They can't. Its part of the cba language. If you pick it up it attaches to the original contract. It has one requirement, that the player is one the team the first day of the league year it relates to(in this case 2016) and one proviso, if the player sustains an injury that would keep him out on the first day of the league year(2016) the player receives the guaranteed pay(16mil)
Once the team exercises the option the language is locked.
