I'll bet that the first year is partially guaranteed and the 2nd year is not a team option but fully unguaranteed.
Fully unguaranteed contracts are better for trading because they give u some wiggle room in trades and can be cut afterward. This is why Morey gave guys like Mike Harris and Alexander 2 year deals with the 2nd year being fully unguaranteed.
You can't trade team option until you elect to pick up his option. When that happens his contract becomes guaranteed which is bad for the cap.
