feel bad for the guy, but i'm rooting for the medical retirement. It's not like he's going to play basketball again anyway, even if he gets completely healthy.
Here's your money, get healthy, enjoy your life.

I doubt him coming off the books really helps us with cap space. We will never have cap space with Jrue/AD/Cousins making $80M, and then Solo/Moore taking up another $20M/yr for the next 3 years. Even if you just had Jrue/AD/Cousins on the books and no one else, you still don't have enough money to bring in a big time player.
We still have to find a way to trade Solo and/or Moore with some assets to get another quality player.

It's starting to look like a moot point with Asik feeling better, but if he had come off the books it would mean you don't have to trade a 1st to dump him to stay under the tax. Then you could use that 1st to try and upgrade someone like Moore.
