No. The guarantee increases IF he plays X games in the prior year on that contract. Once waived it is assured he will play 0 games while being on that contract. That's the nature of guarantee triggers -- if you suck so bad that the team doesn't want you, they can make you be gone with only the fully guaranteed amount, but you can't come back in and somehow obligate them for more.
