I assume the buyout counted against the cap, which wouldn't be the case here?

For the curious, Stone will get paid for his buyout in each of the next two seasons on the regular paydays and get paid this season on the regular paydays. His cap hit for 2019-20 will be $1.867 million and for 2020-21 will be $1.167 million. The CBA only forbids the signing of players bought out using compliance buyouts for one year. There is no restriction on re-signing players on ordinary course buyouts.
