Message: [QUOTE="timkay99, post: 1278196, member: 635"] Grant got guaranteed money. IMO, if you declare early for the draft and got guaranteed money, you made a good decision. It was risky for Grant b/c he was a 2nd rounder, but it worked out with 1.7 million dollars guaranteed and was paid like a late first rounder. If you play well (like Grant) you get to your 2nd contract earlier (if he went in the 1st round, the contract structure would have been the same with years 3 and 4 as team options). If you struggle (like Ennis), you still guarantee yourself 3.25 million dollars. Parsons had the same contract structure as Grant and parlayed it into 3 years and 46 mil as his 2nd contract. Guaranteed money determines whether your decision was correct. [/QUOTE]
