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.

The only thing I could see is them trying to work out an extension next season like they're doing with Hill this year.
