Ope, sorry, I've corrected folks on the 8 years/80 million part of this deal so many times that I didn't do the math here! Sorry. Yes, at best it's a 7 year/64 million deal which is over 9 million/year. He'd have to be playing well to see the final two years, but the cap may be high enough then that those salaries won't be prohibitive.
Supposedly, the last 2 years are fake years. That is $25 million in salary. Take that from 80 and you get $55 million. Divide that by 6 and you get 9.167 million per year (avg.). Of course, his bonuses and such are over 22 million and that is in the 1st 2 years....
