To keep the cap space for down the road. After next year the cap is leveling off.
I wouldn't want to pay Jeremy Lyn, Evan Turner, Matthew Delleadova 4 years 10 million plus year when 2 years down the line I will need that cap space.

The NBPA under Lebron's leadership and really his and his agent's decision declined the NBA's request to phase the cap jumps over 5 years so all FAs would get the payday instead only this year and next year will get this huge jump.

Lebron is going to make 40 million a year next year because of how and he and his agent have played the system.

However in 2018 the cap will be level thus I wouldn't spend like a drunken sailor just to spend money. Smart teams are going to offer higher AAV contracts in exchange for less years or they will hold onto their money. Only desperate/stupid teams are going to give longer 4 year contracts. A player like Dwight Howard would likely get a 2 year 50 million offer from Boston or a 4 year 80 million from Atlanta.

In that case I am fine if he goes to the Hawks. I am going to be watching the years of these contracts not the salaries which are going to be stupid for everyone.
