Knowing what the team has to spend and is WILLING to spend gives the agent ammunition.
Not knowing leaves it a guessing game.
You've never played poker I see.

Wed stand to lose more than gain in this scenario. The player could just be like, welp ok, I'll just go to the team that's willing to sign me for what I want/what's reasonable rather than the team that won't restructure obvious contracts to afford me. There's basically no plus side to doing this as a poker move. Any agent would be able to see right through the BS.
