Hypno can explain it better than me. But basically, when you are trying to sign free agents during the FA period, your contract offering is limited to how much salary cap space you have over the next 3(?) seasons. And those limits are based on percentages of what your total salary+cash numbers are at the end of the current season. (I think that's right, but it could just be total salary). So finishing this season with a slightly salary cap means he can offer free agents just a little bit more next season. I bet that's what he is doing.
