I don't think so... To my knowledge (of course, I admit to not following the NBA since the early '90's), MLB is the only "guaranteed" profession....
Only first round draft picks get guaranteed contracts their rookie year. Second round picks do not have guaranteed contracts. I'm not sure about veterans, but I think they are guaranteed and that is why the 10 day contract exists.
