Offseason Guarantee Dates

Mark Deeks of ShamSports recently updated his NBA salary database, and included in his listings are the particulars on when a host of non-guaranteed contracts becomes guaranteed. By rule, all contracts becomes guaranteed for the season on January 10th, unless the team and player negotiate an earlier date. Some contracts include multiple thresholds that incrementally increase the guarantee as long as the player remains on the roster. Others, like Robin Lopez's deal, include dates that trigger guarantees for multiple seasons.
