I just read that Jason Smith has a partial guaranteed contract for next season.
Could anyone confirm this? If that means we could get out of that deal if we wanted too?

Shamsports says his $2,500,000.00 is unguaranteed.
$1m guaranteed. Pay that and he goes. $2.5m to stay.
Why in the world would we not pay him 2.5M to stay?
Lux tax.
We have 35M on the books next season.
With Aminu, Henry & Mason not with the team next season I dont think we have to worry about the Lux.
Being over the cap doesn't necessarily put you into the luxury tax.
No way in Hell Jason Smith goes to save $2.5. No Way!
The deal was asked after, and now we know.
No one is suggesting that exercising the option is a good idea or a bad one.
Close the thread.
Exactly, why would we want him to walk?
I'm not suggesting we move on from him, I was just bringing up something most people were not aware of and trying to figure what it means.
They negotiated a get out of Jail for 40% card when the made the 3y deal after not making him a restricted free agent going into the lockout. That's all.
Partially/totally ungauranteed contracts are increasingly popular as trade chips...even more so as the luxury becomes more punitive.
