I guess I didn't phrase it clearly.
What I meant is that he gets the full year's pay, but the amount left to be paid at the time of termination is dependent on how much of that season is left. In your example, released halfway through the season he'd get the $4 million that's still left on the year. He's already earned $4 million for the first half of the season that he's played. The total pay he'll get is $8 million.
