Like, do they know something we don't about his future prospects? I don't get it. Dumping NBA royalty to sign a pretty good center (maybe top 10? Maybe?) and getting $22 million in dead money PER YEAR, FOR 5 YEARS seems...shortsighted.
There is no relief. That money is written in ink on their books for the next 5 years. 15% of their cap every year is vaporized for half a decade.
