Not sure if I’m making much sense. If we were to trade Brouwer now with 50% retained, and the other team buys him out, does the other team’s decision to buy him out affect our cap hit / duration, as if he were bought out by us (but 50% cheaper)?

IIRC the buyout cap hit is shared between the two teams by the same salary retention %
