"Waiving and taking the full $15.8M cap hit only opens up the $5M tax ML. Stretching his money over 5 seasons ($3.16M) opens up the $12.2M non tax ML."

So the key to keeping Paul would be for Phoenix to dump enough salary before the 28th where they could just waive Paul (no stretch) and re-sign him. That way they could keep Paul and the full non tax ML. That's probably why Woj keeps bringing up Ayton when talking about Paul. Phoenix needs a salary dump if they want to keep Paul and the exceptions they need to fill out the roster.
Ah! Maybe they'll waive and stretch Ayton!
