The CBA specifies how the salary is paid (typically in payments that begin in Oct and end in Sept), but allows up to half to be paid up front (a negotiated item).
I am more curious about the TK in a way -- it is not unusual (especially with a star) and 15% is max allowed, but I am wondering if it is part of the 118.5 being reported. That happens sometimes and messes with our understanding of the salary cap in play.
ADDING - I see S added Kyrie numbers as I was typing -- thanks!
