according to overthecap.com 

if we cut him now there's 3 mill in dead money and 2 mill in cap savings this year, 1.5 mill in dead money next year with 4 mill in cap savings.

post june it's 1.5 mill in dead money this year with 3.5 mill in cap savings, and next year, 1.5 mill in dead money and 4 mill in cap savings.

 

In other words, he's gone now.

Has no one pointed out that this can't be right? If you cut someone pre-june 1st, the entire cap hit goes towards that year. The post-june 1st numbers look right but the pre-june 1st should say zero cap hit next year with $5.5 million in savings. So the question is do you want to add the 1.5 million savings to this year or next year? I think we're better off saving it for someone with a bigger cap hit to offload the burden of their dead cap over 2 years.
