Why have his final year both non-guaranteed AND a team option? Seems pretty redundant to me.
The partial guarantee next year is presumably a contingency plan in case they make some big offseason trade that either gets our roster over 15 over puts us over the luxtax. (It may also be a way to utilize Goodwin to facilitate trades. Maybe he can be traded out with a salary figure of $1.9M, but the receiving team could then cut him and only pay his $300M guaranteed. I'm not sure if that CBA loophole still exists though.)
