No, no, no. It isn’t hard to understand so let me explain it again. It is all by design. They structure contracts in a way so that they can be restructured every year to free up cap space IF they choose to do so. The result is that they always appear over or right against the cap but they can easily create all the cap space they want or need. So, they can decide to stay out of the big name free agent market if they want and have everyone attribute it to a lack of cap space but when it’s time to sign a few lower level free agents, they can free up the space needed just like they could do if they wanted a big ticket free agent. Recently they have been frugal and stayed out of the high price market but it’s not because they couldn’t. It’s because they have chosen that route. I’m not saying this is the best way to address the cap but it’s the way they have been doing it for 10+ years. When they sign DLaw and Martin, their contracts will be done in the same way. High yearly salaries that look like they destroy the cap but are designed to be automatically restructured every year until the player is ineffective should the team choose to do so. They are never going to start the league year with $40 million in cap space.
