Ah shit - I just overlooked the fact that he's already sitting on some substantial restructure bonuses this year and next.

So yeah, you do that this year you really need that void year to kick that $18 million over 3 years rather than splitting it into 2. Otherwise you're looking at only gaining about $9 million in cap space this year and immediately starting with about $16 million in insecapable cap charge for him next year while he's ALSO sporting a $19 million base salary.

So that would be a $35 million cap hit next season. Uh - no thanks.

If you restructure it needs to be part of an extension. Otherwise you're probably better served to keep your powder dry.
