More of a win for the team than the player, I’m sure Andrew would rather have gotten the entirety contract 4 years ago and optimally use that to invest

In his instance the team benefits more because Nicholson was out of the league after that but that player can also still sign with another team potentially making more over those years than if they weren't waived. If there was no stretch provision Nicholson likely wouldn't have been waived since the team wouldn't have gotten salary cap relief and the only benefit is from opening a roster spot, but keeping him allows them to use him as salary matching in a trade like Bkn did when they traded him to Por.
Suprised that KG is getting paid each year still. because i started following the league in 2014 or 2015 when he had retired

He was waived via stretch provision. Had 3 years left on a 4 year deal, so it stretches to 7 years. Nothing particularly unusual here.
