I don't know why outlets keep bringing up a buyout. Ain't nobody going to leave 90 mil over 2 years on the table.
Wall isn't going to leave $90 mil on the table, and the Rockets aren't going to pay him anything close to $90 mil for coming to Miami to win a championship.
Wall doesn't have to leave 90 million on the table, the player and the team have to come to an acceptable amount for the player to be bought out. Normally the player gives his current team the savings on his contract that he'll make when he signs with another team.
For Wall, if he were to leave say... 10 million on the table only taking around 80 million, he's sign for the minimum somewhere, probably somewhere he feels he'd get to display his talents the best and take his chances as a free agent this next offseason. Depending on how much he may give back, he could actually make more money(which Houston knows so they'll try to get as small of a buyout as they can).
There will be a lot of contenders wanting Wall's services if he's bought out because of the talent level for such a small contract.
Blake Griffin only gave up 13.3 million for his last 2 years(he was owed 39 mil this year), Detroit didn't stretch it so they'll be done with his salary this season
