To remove the 2021-22 year salary, he would have to be waived, which means (a) all rights and ties are lost, (b) some other team could claim him off waivers, and undoubtedly would, and © if no one claimed him, he would be a UFA with no "prior team."
That seems like a weird contract then to give a 2nd round pick bc aren't most 2nd round picks RFA's when their rookie contracts run out? https://hoopshype.com/player/jalen-brunson/salary/ reports that last year as a team option but https://www.basketball-reference.com/ says non-guaranteed.
