because it is a chain reaction
While we can see who will be available and then try to make steals from there
Position ourselves where we can make a plan that is best for our future and execute it, as we limit the moves of other FA's and teams that have the ability to spend....

The more a team has to pay in order to keep a player, the less they will have to spend in the future as our competitors for FA's
Just because the cap will rise to 100m + in a couple of years, doesn't mean that all these teams have the ability to pay these players and keep a profit that NYK's will have with Dolan's pockets to attract FA's
Because Dolan owns his own TV network with MSG/Rangers, we can afford to do things other teams can not....
Thanks to Steve Balmer, he suddenly made the NYK's and MSG multiply in terms of value and the #1 or #2 highest value team in the NBA or sports together with the Rangers and MSG together

This past summer, until Lebron/CA/Bosh made their decisions, all the FA's had to wait it out, same philosophy

Spur's will have only 3 days to acquire talent and keep Kawaii Leanard

They will try to go after Marc Gasol and may be be able to keep Danny Green in the process *who is the leads the league in SHOT BLOCKS at a Guard* and provides steals and % 3pt shot's every game with HIGH IQ*

It isn't a given for GS to match given their payroll
And if they do match, they likely will trade their 1st rounder to get rid of David Lee and possibly other talents like Speights *team option* in which I would not have a problem doing with FA to build for our future, which basically forces CA to reconsider waiving his no trade clause which I believe would make us a better all round team with more flexiblity

As for Butler/Chicago, I would not be surprised if they decided to keep Butler and possibly trade D Rose as they have always been cheap

I totally expect to have another full amnesty to utilize after the 2017 negatations as it would benefit players and teams so both would agree
For players, they can get paid in full while earning another contract in the process, and for teams, they can get rid of payrolls and retool/saving time/money

This is where I DO NOT WANT TO STRETCH Calderon, as there is also a possiblity for trading him especially as his contract goes closer to an expiring
For example, if Durant said he is going to NYK *as CA should have and we would not have overpayed for him* and will not sign an extension anywhere else, OKC has to take back Calderon to match salaries

And on top of it, we can take contracts back if a team wants to overpay to get rid of a contract like Lakers did with Lin, Philly has done, etc....
So if we do get assets as a result of taking longer contracts, we could pay our way to acquiring talent and speeding up our ability to rebuild, while targetting many FA's in 2017 and focusing on our development/collecting assets till then.....
We can still acquire talents without overpaying that we would have leverage over with team options or longer term deals for security, whichever is better with our flexiblity moving forward

So even if we DO NOT win the bids, those are the reasons I would offer them a contract if they were willing to sign it
The talents that actually are considering NYK's will wait it out to see what happens, as it is only 3 days regardless, especially if we let their agents know that we have interest
