I think some of those are too high. It looks like you didn't multiply the remaining salary by 2/3rds in a couple of them at least. In the last one the final 2 years should be $1M ($6M salary owed x 2/3rds = $4M divided out over 4 years = $1M a year) and the previous 2 years should be $3.75M. The one before that has the same issue.

Unless I'm missing something, this is what the last 2 should be:

Buyout in 2017-18

I find CapGeek's (and the CBA's) explanation to be kind of convoluted. Essentially it's just cap hit - salary + buyout amount = buyout cap hit in each year. So in years where the cap hit is way higher than the salary the buyout's cap hit is pretty high.
