While there may be some truth to that, it doesn't mean that guaranteed contracts don't bring out the laziness in many.
Get rid of them, make players earn their roster spot every season, the quality of the regular season will go up, GMs and fans will get rewarded for the talent they acquire, and the potential for cap ruining anchor contracts for lazy players will decrease quite a bit.
