Is the team still held to account for that money versus the cap, or does it somehow magically get voided? This trend of high percentage guaranteed in recent contracts seems a bit risky for teams that may have to factor that money in, without the benefit of that star player's services available to their respective team.
Yes, they are held to that money. It is why players want guaranteed money so badly. If they get hurt and can't play, they are still owed that money.
