If you retain all of the salary of a player and he is traded back to the original team, is there a penalty or is this a clean wash on payroll?

Example: John Doe is traded and all of his salary is retained. $5 mil a year for four years appears as retained on the original team's salary page.

Then Doe is traded back to the original team. Does the same $5 mil expense still show on the original team's salary page -- making no net change in team payroll?
