The potential Brouwer buyout will help. Just to make sure I understand this correctly:
Brouwer is getting $4.5million/year each of the next two years for a total of $9million owed
He's over 26 so take 2/3rds of that, $6million owed
Double the length and you've got a cap hit of $1.5million/year for 4 seasons

Correct?

I don't see a situation where they don't buy him out this offseason. $3 million/year in space easily pays for his replacement and then some.

Yes, your calculations are correct.
