Cassel signs 6-year $36 million contract (denied by Pioli)

[Delano]

My understanding of contracts and the salary cap is very weak.

Does the guaranteed money get paid over the entire course of the contract or can they pay it all in one year?

I'm wondering if a majority of the contract will be paid this year - when there is a large pool of available money.

guaranteed money usually has a big hunk in the 1st year with the signing bonus and then has some kind of guaranteed bonus each year for awhile.
