First, this year isn’t fully guaranteed. He makes $24.36, but only $14.32 is guaranteed. In the tragic event that Mike suffered a season-ending injury, he could be waived and we would have room under the lux threshold to sign a replacement.
Second, he has that $1.5 mil unlikely bonus that Spotrac summarizes as :
“LTBE: $0, ULTBE: $1,500,000 (>-60% playoff games + finals)”
This apparently must just be poorly written and means that Mike only gets his bonus if the team plays in the finals. I’ve heard this rumored before, but couldn’t find confirmation until I noticed he had the same bonus last year. He played in 100% of our playoff games, and he did not receive the bonus.
There was a deadline before the season where Conley's contract became fully guaranteed.
