Since everyone knows Hassan Whiteside is making the team, the Miami Heat decided to keep things simple and outright guarantee the center’s contract this season, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
The Sun Sentinel has confirmed that rather than make the emerging center wait through a series of guarantee dates, the Heat this week instead went forward and guaranteed Whiteside’s salary for the season.
Whiteside signed a two-year deal with the Heat last season, with the first year guaranteed and the second year with a series of dates incrementally guaranteeing Whiteside’s contract in full.
