Vince Carter: The Expiring Contract That Isn't
In several places around this site, members of the Orlando Pinstriped Post
community have written that Orlando Magic guard Vince Carter has an expiring
contract, which makes him a desirable trade chip as NBA teams look to cut
costs before the next collective bargaining agreement arrives sometime next
year, potentially after a lengthy lockout. For clarification's sake, we should
note that Carter's contract doesn't expire next summer, nor is it a team option
It's what one might term as a "semi-expiring" deal. Yes, it can end next summer
, but it'll come at a price.
Carter has a partially guaranteed deal for the 2011/12 season. If he is not
waived before June 30, 2011, Carter's salary of $18.3 million becomes fully
guaranteed; if he is waived by the above date, he pockets $4 million and
becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The $4 million figure will stay
on his team's cap for that year.
I assure you I'm not picking nits here; these distinctions are important. If
the Magic elect to trade Carter, they'll likely have to include $3 million in
cash--the maximum allowable amoun--in the bargain to cover most of Carter's
guarantee, which is a fact to consider when trying to evaluate potential trade
partners. Which ones wouldn't mind having to cover $1 million of Carter's
guarantee? Would they demand another asset, such as a future draft pick, as
further compensation?
Those details don't change the fact that Carter will almost assuredly become
a free-agent next summer, as it's simply hard to imagine that any team is
willing to pay him $18.3 million when it could simply pay him to go away. But
the circumstances around the pending free agency merit attention. Can't
overlook them, no matter how silly they might seem.
