Knicks · List of players whose contracts have to be guaranteed or waived by Saturday (page 1)

Decision Time: As of today NBA teams are now permitted to sign 10-day contracts, which means a number of teams have to decide if the roster spots they current have occupied are worth the cost.

January 10 is last day NBA teams can waive their non-guaranteed or partially-guaranteed players and avoid fully guaranteeing their contracts on January 10. While the 10th is the day contracts get locked in for the season, teams need the three days between the 7th and the 10th to ensure waived players clear the NBA waiver process.

While not all non-guaranteed or partially-guaranteed contracts will get waived (actually most don’t) there are several that might.

Here are the 49 players that fit into that category:

Mike Muscala Atlanta Hawks $408K guaranteed
Jerome Jordan Brooklyn Nets $100K guaranteed
Brandon Davies Brooklyn Nets No guarantee
Darius Morris Brooklyn Nets No guarantee
Cory Jefferson Brooklyn Nets $75K guaranteed
Jason Maxiell Charlotte Hornets No guarantee
E’Twaun Moore Chicago Bulls $425K guarantee
Nazr Mohammed Chicago Bulls No guarantee
Lou Amundson Cleveland Cavaliers No guarantee
A.J. Price Cleveland Cavaliers No guarantee
Alex Kirk Cleveland Cavaliers $65K guarantee
Charlie Villanueva Dallas Mavericks No guarantee
Erick Green Denver Nuggets $50K guaranteed
Leandro Barbosa Golden State $150K guaranteed
Justin Holiday Golden State $35K guaranteed
Patrick Beverley Houston Rockets No guarantee
Luis Scola Indiana Pacers $940K guaranteed by Indiana & $559K guaranteed by Houston
Shayne Whittington Indiana Pacers $25K guaranteed
Jared Cunningham LA Clippers No guarantee

Dewayne Dedmon Orlando Magic $250K guaranteed
Robert Covington Philadelphia 76ers $400K guaranteed
Henry Sims Philadelphia 76ers No guarantee
Hollis Thompson Philadelphia 76ers No guarantee
Malcolm Thomas Philadelphia 76ers No guarantee
Jakaar Sampson Philadelphia 76ers $50K guaranteed
K.J. McDaniels Philadelphia 76ers No guarantee
Eric Moreland* Sacramento Kings $200K guaranteed
Amir Johnson Toronto Raptors $5M guaranteed
Greg Stiemsma Toronto Raptors $25K guaranteed
Toure’ Murry (waived) Utah Jazz $250K guaranteed
Joe Ingles Utah Jazz No guarantee
Patrick Christopher Utah Jazz No guarantee
Rasual Butler Washington Wizards No guarantee
Glen Rice Jr. Washington Wizards $400K guaranteed

* Due to injury, Eric Moreland’s full contract value is guaranteed as he will not return before the guarantee date. He can still be waived, however his full contract of $507K is locked in.

It is worth noting that while Houston’s Patrick Beverly makes the list because of his contract structure, it’s nearly impossible to think the Rockets would waive him. The same is likely true of Amir Johnson in Toronto and Luis Scola in Indiana.
