Will Barton earns guaranteed contract for 2014-15 season

Will Barton, the ever-improving Portland Trail Blazers guard, earned himself a bit of security recently.

The third year of his rookie contract became fully guaranteed on July 25 since the team elected not to waive him by that date. This decision comes as no surprise.

Barton will earn a little over $900,000 for the upcoming 2014-15 NBA season.
