Marion: Drafted 9th overall in 1999. Signed to rookie salary scale contract
for that year. Signed a 6 year, $79 million extension in August 2002. Dwyane Wade: Drafted 5th overall in 2003. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a 4 year max extension ($60,308,986) in July 2006. Mark Blount: Re-signed to a 6 year, $41 million contract in July 2004. Contract had trade kicker which, when invoked, made it even bigger in value. As if his contract needed to get bigger. Udonis Haslem: Re-signed a 5 year, $30.1 million contract in August 2005. Contract boosted by $10,000 a year due to a "summer development" bonus, whatever that is. Michael Beasley: Drafted 2nd overall in 2008. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Marcus Banks: Signed a 5 year, $21.3 million contract in July 2006. James Jones: Signed for 5 years and $23.2 million in July 2008. Contract boosted by $10,000 a year due to a "summer development" bonus, whatever that is. Contract has a 15% trade kicker. Final three years are only partially guaranteed ($1,856,000, $1,984,000, and $2,112,000 respectively) but become fully guaranteed if Jones is not waived on or before 6/30/2010. Dorell Wright: Drafted 19th overall in 2004. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Re-signd for two years and $5.5 million in August 2008. Smush Parker: Signed a 2 year, $4.68 million contract in July 2007. Bought out in early 2008. Daequan Cook: Drafted 21st overall in 2007. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Chris Quinn: Signed to a two year minimum salary contract in July 2006. $75,000 guaranteed. Second year is unguaranteed until July 20th. Qualifying offer extended in June 2008. Accepted a deal starting at the value of the QO, but with a second season attatched. Yakhouba Diawara: Signed a two year, $1.82 million salary contract in August 2008. Shaun Livingston: Signed to a two year minimum salary contract in September 2008. Jamaal Magloire: Signed to a one year minimum salary contract in September 2008. Magloire is actually being paid $1,141,838, the minimum salary for an eight year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than three years of experience, the team is only billed an amount equal to the minimum salary of a two year vet. The league pays the rest. $570,919 guaranteed (that amount respresents 50% of Magloire's total salary, as seen above, not 50% of Miami's cap figure for him.) Joel Anthony: Signed to a two year minimum salary contract in July 2007. $100,000 guaranteed in the first year. Second year fully unguaranteed until July 25th. Mario Chalmers: Signed a three year minimum salary contract in July 2008 which pays more than the minimum in the first and second years, which means that when I called it a three year minimum salary contract just now, I told something of an untruth. Sorry about that. Contract contains performance bonsues currently listed as "likely". Jason Richards: Signed to a two year unguaranteed minimum salary contract in July 2008. $50,000 guaranteed, becoming fully guaranteed if Richards makes the opening day roster. Second year fully unguaranteed until July 21st 2009. Waived in October 2008, buuuuuuuuut.......Richards suffered a season ending knee injury while still under contract, and since the injury was directly related to playing for the team, his contract is thereby guaranteed until he's either healed, or the end of the season, whichever comes first. Therefore, the first season of his contract becomes guaranteed because he got injured, even though it was barely 10% guaranteed before that. So that was a lucky break for him. Apart from, you know, the whole really painful serious knee injury thing. But hey! Free money! You know Tyrus Thomas is jealous. Stephane Lasme: Signed to a two year minimum salary contract in July 2007. $100,000 guaranteed in the second year, rising to $300,000 if not waived before July 22nd, $400,000 if not waived before September 16th, and fully guaranteed if not waived before October 26th. Waived in September 2008. David Padgett: Signed to a two year unguaranteed minimum salary contract in July 2008. $35,000 guaranteed in the first year, until 9/8/2008 when it becomes $50,000 guaranteed, until 10/26/2008 when it becomes $100,000. Second year fully unguaranteed until July 21st 2009. Waived in October 2008. |
