Please explain the year we pay him 24 million?

You're right. I was just looking at his dead cap.

Next year his cap hit is $13.92M and his dead cap is $23.75M

So if we cut him pre June 1, we lose $9.8M in cap space.

If we cut or trade him post June 1, it's a $0 net on 2023 and 2024 gets a 9,850,000 hit.

Note: we're almost certainly not going to let Taysom hill have a near $14M cap hit next year, so we'll roll a huge chunk of his $9.9M base into signing bonus, pushing the dead cap to a higher number.
