($6,341,463-$2,185,116)/2= $2,078,174 saved for the Mavs. Klay's cap hit would still be $15,382,143 for tax/apron purposes.
1 A buyout is an agreement to take less. Negotiable number.
2 It often matches the new salary. But not required. Again, negotiable.
3 Set off can be oddly utilized, and negotiable. They might agree to no set off. Again, negotiable.
4 The numbers don't have to neatly align to anything. But often they match up somehow.
5 MIA has cap or apron or exception limits in play somehow. DAL likely prefers to pay least possible amount for Klay playing for MIA. Those issues undoubtedly came into play.
6 Actual salary from MIA and cap hit to DAL will emerge eventually. But difference between this possible number or that should be mostly of no matter. Nickels and dimes.
