It suggest best way for Wall would be basically to split the cost between Houston and his new team - Houston and Wall reach a buyout agreement at (let's) say half his salary and Wall signs somewhere at 20 mil per. That is best win-win-win situation. Everything else ends with Wall rotting on one of the bottom feeders who doesn't really want to play him as he will worsen the tankathon position.
Thanks for posting that. It was actually negotiate $20mm off of the $92mm remaining over 2 years (so $72mm) and Wall would make it up signing for about the MLE or $10mm per year over the next two years.
I also thought the suggestion of throwing a 4 year/$45mm deal at THT was interesting in terms of what Hollinger thought might be good value, but also enough to possibly make the Lakers blink.
