When it was reported the Lakers signed Marcelo Huertas, part of my analysis focused on my thoughts that his contract was likely to be fully guaranteed and, thus, his roster spot was basically set in stone. Well, it turns out that is not the case. Not at all, in fact:
I hear Lakers' deal with Marcelo Huertas is just a summer contract, non-guaranteed rookie minimum at $525k with limited injury protection

Huertas taking a fully non-guaranteed deal is a bit of a shocker to me.
