Maybe add the 2.2 they had under the tax line before the buyout.  Actually I think 9.8 is exactly what they have left on the MLE?

We are on vacation and I had a few minutes this morning to come on here and write about the possibility no one was talking about - the give up on Klay’s part being larger than the first year salary.  But, I thought it too unlikely and stopped halfway through the post.  I do think the second year guarantee is designed to make up some of that.

This is a nice bit of negotiating.  Many assumed it was take Jovic or accept a buyout for the $3.9mm Miami would pay on a Vet Min.  Nope.  The next assumption was the $6.3mm first year salary.  Then it turns out it is enough to fully utilize the full MLE under the tax.  Again, a good piece of work on Masai’s part.
