Essentially 6yrs $99mil of guaranteed money which would come out to be approx 5yrs $83mil if he didn't get the S&T. The last yr of his deal he stands to make a good chunk of the $23+mil owed to him but it isn't all guaranteed. Kind of interesting how these deals were worked out.
Money matters
Details of Rashard Lewis's mother lode with Orlando have started to filter out and the deal, if fully paid out, amounts to around $112.735 million over six years. The sixth year is not fully guaranteed -- although he will get no less than $10 million in 2012-13 -- with Lewis having to meet some conditions and yardsticks along the way to get more. Lewis isn't the only big name to have his last year not fully guaranteed. Chauncey Billups's new deal with the Pistons (five years, $60 million) has only $3.7 million of $14.2 million guaranteed in Year 5, 2011-12. However, he will get all of it if he is still on the roster five days after Detroit ends its 2010-11 season. And in the last year of Vince Carter's new deal (five years, $80 million), only $4 million of the $18.3 million is guaranteed. Carter will get all of it, however, if the Nets don't waive him by July 1, 2011.
