If he could get rid of the contract he would because in place of Z, you could get a guy like Pachulia and then another decent wing player for the same cash or you could just save the money.
This isnt play money chuck.

How much do you think Pachulia is going to want? 7 or 8 million? He isnt going take a one year deal either. Of all teams Cleveland is not concerned with the money this year. They would go way over the cap to win next year. Shaq's 20 million comes off the cap next year when they will go after another star. They are flush with cash after taking on the Chinese investors. Seriously they NEED to win this year more than any team perhaps ever because if they dont and LeBron walks, the franchise is dead. Seriously dead. Think Danny Ferry is going to try to save a few bucks? Hell he will probably be replaced after this year anyway without a championship or 7 games final loss.
