Corey Brewer's contract non-guaranteed next year?!?!

according to hoopshype he's guaranteed all 4 years. but if op is true then rockets can get rid of the whole jb-brewer love connection, instead of just one half. better not be screwing around op. we got some irritated and impatient fans

 

Yeah I read that article. Super weird they would say that. Have never heard this anywhere else before so assuming its BS.

Sports journalism is so poor these days. Anyone can write anything they want and won't be held accountable.

 

Please be true.

 

I've have saw before that his contract was not guaranteed on spotrac[dot]com, but I honestly ignored it because I didn't see anything about it anywhere. I'm sure the person who wrote the article from bleacher report saw the same thing and used it as his/her source. I don't blame him/her, but at the same time he/she should have done more research.

I usually go to spotrac for a quick reference guide for contracts, but I wouldn't hold any stock in Brewer's contract not being guaranteed. No way he signs that unless he was absolutely positive he would outplay the money when he signed it. No way his agent lets him sign it either way. Has to be guaranteed.

 

Can any insider comment on this? It does seem like a Daryl Morey move, but I am amazed at how it went under the radar like that.

 

That is complete and utter bunk. Corey Brewer's contract is fully guaranteed for next season and for 2017-18.

 

ah,,, why do i have to hear a piece of bad news b4 i head out for a tennis match on a beautiful sunday morning...

 

Lol. How in the f*** would it be unguaranteed for next year but completely guaranteed for the year after? That makes no sense, and I'm gonna go ahead and say there has never been an NBA contract where one of the middle seasons is unguaranteed.

 

Zero percent chance.. He would never have signed a contract like that.

 

If you cut him this summer, you have to take him back next summer, good contract.

 

Do not give me false hope.

 

The bleacher report has gotten better but I still think it's crap.

 

Unless Brewer starts playing better the Rockets will be stuck with him for awhile. Best chance to get rid of Brewer is in combination with Dwight if he opts out or in with a sign and trade package taking in other contracts.

 

April fools article posted late perhaps?

 

I've noticed that too. One the multi-year view it shows that next year is not guaranteed:

But on the individual contract page, it shows that all years are guaranteed:

so in this case spotrac actually contradicts itself...

 

Or early?

 

They were just confused.

Brewer gave up an option when we originally acquired him right? Sounds like they were confusing their stories....

 

Brewer's contract is fully guaranteed, but is pretty team friendly as it decreases every year. When we resigned him, I thought we overpayed a little but the way Brewer has been playing this season has really made it difficult to even try to defend that contract. It probably the worst contract we have on this team, since there is still 3 years on it.

Bev's contract is the one that is not guaranteed his last season. His also decreases every year, if I'm not mistaken or dips for next year then gets a slight raise the next. I thought we might have overpaid a little for him, given the inconsistent 3 point shot and the injuries but he has been pretty well worth it, in my opinion.
