The first 2 years of the contract have cap hits of $13.8m and $11.9m. The final two years have cap hits of $25.5m and $23.25m.
He can be cut before those final two years with just $2.6m in dead cap space.

It's not 100% the exact scenario you just posed, but you also just gave 7 qualifiers to the situation which pretty much ensures that nothing will ever meet all 7. That said, it's a pretty close example of an elite guy in his prime taking a backloaded deal with a new (losing) team.
They didn't sign Mack on the FA market. They traded for him. Doesn't that make the two scenarios completely different as opposed to not 100% the exact scenario?
