Among the 30 players whose contracts became guaranteed, salaries varied widely.

Terry Rozier’s $26,643,031 deal with the Miami Heat represented the highest figure, while Dean Wade’s $6,623,456 contract with Cleveland stood as the only other non-minimum agreement in the group.

The remaining 28 players were all on minimum deals. Several carried listed salaries above $2 million but counted less against the cap due to minimum salary rules.

For example, Bismack Biyombo, Russell Westbrook, Thomas Bryant, Landry Shamet, Amir Coffey, Javonte Green, Bones Hyland, and Lindy Waters III each earned between $2.46 million and $3.63 million in salary but carried identical cap hits of $2,296,274.

Other guaranteed salaries included figures such as $2,453,285 for Precious Achiuwa, $2,349,578 for players like Justin Champagnie and Jordan Goodwin, and $2,221,677 for several younger contributors including Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jordan Walsh.

At the low end, Mohamed Diawara’s $1,272,870 contract represented the smallest guaranteed salary in the group.

While some players may have narrowly avoided being waived, many had either carved out rotation roles or were viewed as longer-term investments, making them unlikely cut candidates regardless of the deadline.
