I am curious, but how do buyouts work when another team is paying for them? Is the buyout cost split between the two (you pay 75%/etc. of what you were paying, the other team pays 75%/etc. of what they were paying)?

You could just have the current owner pay the whole hit and leave the cash adjustment alone, but that could cause problems with teams gaining cap by trading for and cutting players. For example, if I have a player making 4m and it is all paid by another team, then this method would mean I buy out the player 3m but still get paid 4m to cover his salary.

Please do not post on other people's moves to ask questions. Do so by PM or in questions/suggestions topic.

To answer this question, it depends on the total penalty of the player. If the player is a $4m on a 1 year deal and is fully covered then it doesn't cost you anything to drop them. The penalty is basically covered by the other team. If say it's a $4m  salary for 3 years, the total penalty to cut is $3m + $2m + $1m for a total of $6m. If just the first year is covered, it would just cost you $2m to cut the player. Rest of penalty is covered by other team.
