>This is because it, like almost all money in NBA contracts, was guaranteed.
Once the deal is signed, unless there is an out clause in the deal, there is
no way to get the player off the salary cap until the contract expires -
even if both sides want to tear up the contract.

According to this, it would seem that if a player retires (Pervis), then his
salary would still count against the cap? Or is there an exception for
retirment? If there isn't an exception for death (Lewis) then I wouldn't
think there would be one for retirement.

I'm not saying that he isn't capable, but with Jaque Vaughn and Ryan
Robertson at Kansas, Pierce rarely, if ever, brought the ball up.
