Since it's a 1 year deal the salary is kind of inconsequential.

He either gels with the team and they can try an extension later down the line.

Or the team crashes out of the playoffs and you can likely unload him for a third with salary retained or something.

My only real negative for the contract is that you spent assets and only came up with a 1 year deal. I would have thought there was a longer term deal planned.
