Jake Layman's contract with the Trail Blazers for the 2018-19 season is now guaranteed. Portland took no action on June 30th, meaning that the third year forward from Maryland will stay in the Rose City.
According to Eric Pincus of Basketball Insiders, Layman’s contract for the upcoming season would automatically convert from non-guaranteed to guaranteed on June 30. On Sunday, NBC Sports Northwest’s Jason Quick stated on social media that the Blazers did not waive him prior to the deadline.
The Blazers are now obligated to pay Layman’s approximately $1.54 million salary, even if they cut him.
