Nah, the third year is always non-guaranteed.
And that average is inflated by the 4th year team option on rookie contracts. The first three years only average $1.1MM.
Less than 1.5 mil a season for a guy who was thought of at one point to be a top 15 talent in perhaps the deepest draft in history.

Thanks.
Seems like a pretty standard rookie contract to me.
He was not good on D last night.
Still looks like a player though. Trying to spread the floor, great pass to Exim.
Avoiding the selfish crap that was evident on both teams.
He looks like some regular dude off the street.
Wonder what's up with the Toronto sign behind him?
probably still up from when they moved nando.. they were guaging who they could get for the deal
I don't know but we might get 80+ pages from it though.
Maybe the Spurs want Valanciunas lol
Glad to hear he recognizes he needs to improve defensively and actually wants to do so. If he can at least put forth his full effort and play smart, I think he'll end up being at least an average defender given his size.
Can anyone else share more info about this kid? He's got funny hair.
Watched him play a lot at UCLA (they show all their games out here in LA). Kid is a hooper.
High bball IQ
Excellent passer
Good size at 6'9 230 lbs w/ a 7'3 wingspan
Can shoot a little
Point-forward skill set
Was UCLA's best player last season
Below-average athlete with slow feet who will struggle defensively
Only 20 years old
Will play sparingly this season
That's about all you need to know.
I really liked the way Anderson played in the first summer league game. 6 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds is a good stat line. If he had played a bit more and been told to be more aggressive, he probably could have gotten a triple double. But I do question his effectiveness without the ball in his hands, as he made virtually all of his plays while playing point. He won't be doing much of that for the spurs. He's got to learn to play off the ball, work on spot up shooting, and be more aggressive driving and playing D. And he's got to do something about his slow release on his jump shot because right now it's just a brutally slow release. He might be a good shooter, but if he can never get your shot off that's not exactly good. Chip might need to completely change his shot.
Or Amir Johnson
I'm excited to see Anderson, Ayres, Baynes, and Daye play this season. This is a make or break year for the careers of the latter three. I really believe Daye could take Bonner's spot in the rotation, giving us a little more on offense and rebounding and a little less on positional defense. Baynes might finally figure things out, take the backup C position, and hu-hu-hump it into submission.
And like it or not, I still believe in Ayres. If he could catch a ing basketball there would be nothing stopping him from being a great change of pace big off the bench. He's a decent rebounder and has the athleticism to be a solid defender and screener. With Baynes, Ayres and Daye, Pop has a medicine cabinet of bigs to throw into the 4th slot depending on what the situation calls for.
It's tough to tell where Anderson's minutes will come. Maybe play Manu at backup PG while Mills is hurt and have a Manu-Marco-Anderson back court?
Tspence if you're reading this, please text Pop and tell him not to play Cory ing Joseph for 8 months. I don't think I can take it. And don't sign Bonner so he can be in a suit behind the bench all year.
Ayres showed some progress last year. He came pretty close to stepping out of the restricted zone when guarding the PnR neat the end of the season, I think he's gonna get both feet out of it this year.
I expect KA to outplay wiggens tomorrow.
You'll be amazed at how fast Wiggins moves. Caught me off guard against the Bucks.
What did Wiggins look like anyway? I'm not really interested in watching the game. Did he play well?
LOL that's not a favorable matchup. Wiggins will drive and dunk on that wigga
Avery Johnson. Da face
What did his game look like?
