I'm anxious to see how teams utilize this. Doesn't see like a great deal to me. Yes you more than cut the cap hit in half but you also stretch it out so that you've got, to use an NFL term, dead money long after the player is gone.
In Haywoods case if you wanted to get out of the last two guaranteed years of his deal you could take the cap hit down to less than $4M a year but you'd be stuck with that until 2018. I'm not sure that's good cap management. We'll see how it plays out in practice.
