Shamsports released it's 2012 salary page for the Mavs.

The only nugget of real interest, imo, is the difference in contracts they gave the second round rookies.

Bernard James got one year guaranteed, at the absolute rookie minimum, plus an non-guaranteed year next year.

Crowder, in contrast, got almost 35% more salary in the first year, AND got two years guaranteed with a team option for the third year.

I think we could all see this for ourselves in the summer league, but giving a second rounder two years guaranteed and above the minimum scale seems to speak to the Mavs confidence in Crowder being a contributor here.
