Does anyone know the terms? Did the Blazers get any discount or did they use the stretch provision?

I'm guessing the Blazers didn't use the stretch provision but I have no clue what the buyout terms could be.

The stretch provision can only be used on contracts signed under the current CBA.

Williams was bought out for $2.6M, a discount of $535K from what he was owed this season.
