And I think I agree with you. I think we'll hear news in that 2:50-ish time frame about a deal being worked out.
It isn't a mirage, it just isn't a hard cap.

There's no way to simply disregard the cap. You can't buy your way out of it. At best, all you can do is push the hurt down the road and pray that the deals you sign never go sideways on you.

The cap exists and it will absolutely serve to **** teams something awful if they operate with the mentality that it doesn't matter. If you have a lot of good, young players, you can't treat the cap with impunity because sooner or later those backloads will all come due at the same time and for guys that are still young enough to produce.
