In response to atlantabison
I am starting to think that Mike may not get as much as I had previously thought. Last year, the salary cap exploded from $70 million to $94 million. Thus the teams started spending money like the proverbial drunken sailor. However this year the cap hardly moved at all - and thus many teams have no room for free agents other than what they have under arcane things like the mid-level exception. Bird exceptions, bi-annual exception, etc.
In any event, this may lead to less money being available for players who aren't superstars.
