I don't know when the appropriate time to do that would be, because I haven't looked at the contract. But, I think his career is over. I think he's Tariq Abdul Wahad.
Hard to be 100% sure how to read the contract details.
I´d say:
Waived before Jan 10th 2023: $16M to Isaac
Waived before Jan 10th 2024: $25M to Isaac (full 2022/2023 salary + partial guarantee 2023/2024)
Waived before Jan 10th 2025: $34.8M to Isaac (full 2022/2023 + 2023/2024 salary)
Not waived al all: $52.2M to Isaac (full contract)
If Isaac also receives the partial guarantee for 2023/2024, if waived before Jan. 10th this year, then the incentive to waive him now is really low for the Magic. Would be just $1.4M in savings.
