The cap hit is the biggest risk going forward, but are they over now with his salary or just really close? Anyway, I thought that the cap only applied during the season anyway - you can go over as long as you fix it by the start of the regular season. And then I think they can buy him out.

The league signed off on the termination almost immediately.
Unless it was dropped in the 2013 CBA - and I see no reason why it was - teams can only exceed the cap by 10% during the off-season. They have to be compliant by opening day.
