Detroit would like to buy out the contract of G Antti Niemi, $5.7m (2019-2020) over 2 years, he is owed $7.6m. Can I pay $4.6m this year and $3m next year based on the rule below?
***A GM may at any time decide to re-allocate funds to a buyout. For instance, if LA is to buyout Doughty over 3 years, but in year 2 he realizes he has funds to spare, he may use funds in the 2nd year to pay off some or all of what he owes in the 3rd year in order to clear up future cap space.
