Technically any player can be terminated at any time; it's just a matter of how the termination impacts the books.

I'll try to keep this real simple by making a quick list of how much he'll cost depending on when he's released...
  • If released now, he'll cost $26.5 mil in the books this year as dead money. If he plays, he'll cost $10 mil.
  • If released after the season, he'll cost anywhere from $10 mil to $16.5 mil as dead money depending on his next contract with another team. If he plays he'll cost $21 mil in 2019.
  • If released after 2019, he'll cost $5 mil as dead money. If he plays he'll cost $23 mil in 2020.
