On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. The lesson? The good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

The lcal paper...which of course is worthless for news...reports 4 years with the last year partially guaranteed.  Basically a late first round contract to a second rounder.
It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave.  Keep on thinking free.

Partially guaranteed?  Meaning up to a certain dollar amount?  Never heard of that before.

It is very common.  Bowen had one...why Milw could buy him out for $2 mil on a $5 mil contract.  Spurs just offered the same thing to McDyess a 3 year deal with only part of the 3rd year guaranteed.

From ESPN...a couple examples of other partially guarateed contracts

Quote
If the Jazz can't complete a three-team deal involving one of the few teams possessing cap space when they ultimately move Boozer, they'll either be trying to work with a team that has a good-sized trade exception (Miami, New Jersey and Denver all qualify) or looking for a conventional trade that includes a contract like those possessed by Sasha Pavlovic or Greg Buckner.

Only $1.5 million of Pavlovic's $5 million contract next season is guaranteed. Only $1 million of Buckner's $4.1 million deal is owed, with the stipulation that he be waived Nov. 30.
