Yes.... but it's exactly the same as a regular buyout - the only difference is that it doesn't go against the cap - which is good for every other player by making the pool for players salaries larger. The only players it will effect negatively are those players that a team would not normally buyout unless a compliance buyout was offered - and even then - only those players that didn't sign a new free agency contract that at least made up for that 1/3 difference - so very few.
