They are designed to give the franchise a competitive edge and to have a loophole set so that they can unload the player before having to pay out so much against the contract. I don't know how much money is being wasted on this process, but it does seem to me that if contract monies were all guaranteed, and the contract is truly a "contract", then you'd probably see much lower salaries for these players.
