Even the stretch provision would be pretty brutal given the number of years/dollars left on his contract. It would reduce his cap hit from 18 million to about 13.5 million.
Which brings me back around to 'why would LeBron sign up for that?". Because if they're still lugging Deng's $13.5 million cap figure around now through 2021, that's going to make it awfully difficult to surround him with the pieces he's presently lacking.
