JuJu won't have a year 1 hit of $20 million.
Maybe a 2-year average at/near $20 million after accounting for some dead money you absorb on the back end, but that 2 year average is realistically spread over 3 or 4 years depending on how you manage said dead money.
But I suspect a LTC for JuJu yields a year 1 figure of around $8-10 million; about half of what we'd pay for Hopkins.
