Alright ... Jasikevicius bought out his contract ($4 million) with the Warriors.
Even though, the buyout amount didn't have to be all that $4 million, which would mean he is still on Warriors' cap this year with some amount - the fact that he is earning 3.5 million euros this year in Greece ($5.5 million in this moment) erases the obligation from Warriors' end (the right of a set-off).
Am I correct cap experts?

The Warriors are responsible for the amount of the buyout & it counts against their cap. The amount is $1 million, per Sham

I found an article where it says that after the buyout, Jasikevicius signed a two-year, 7 million euros deal with the team from Athens. At that time, that amount was equal with $9.9 million. So he is paid $4.95 million per season.
On top of that, Panathinaikos gave Sarunas an additional 1.8 million euros to byout his $4 million contract with the Warriors. That was something like $2.5 million back then.
Even though $1.5 million has stayed on the Warriors payroll (assuming he didn't paid a dime by himself to be free) - that amount too should come of the Warriors team payroll simply because of the right to set-off. His salary with Pao is an equivalent of $5 million this year.

From news reports at the time, SJ asked for the buyout because he had a deal pending. this is similar to Viktor Khryapa asking to be bought out since he had a deal pending in Russia.
I dont believe either player actually paid their team to be released. SJ had just picked up his option a short time previous.
